Overdraft is more expensive

February 12, 2010 | alternatives, industry, international | Comments (0)

Even in Great Britain.  From the story:

Payday loans have recently come under fire for charging interest rates of more than 3000% but an investigation has revealed that unauthorised bank overdrafts carry even higher charges.

The UK’s part-nationalised banks can be more expensive than going to a payday loan company, who charge high interest rates for short-period loans.

Lloyds TSB, which received support from the government through the recession, would charge £216.32 interest on a customer’s current account if they were overdrawn by £150 for 10 days.

Nice to see even the British are waking up to this.
