Take control of banking fees

Banking fees can be very draining on your budget if not controlled, especially if you are struggling to manage your finances. Follow these simple tips to avoid over-paying on your banking fees:

• Speak to your bank — get informed about when and why you will be charged when using your banking facilities. You may be incurring charges for swiping your bank card or drawing cash from an ATM.

• Avoid using ATM’s that do not belong to your bank — using another bank’s ATM can be very costly as you are charged a much higher fee than when you use an ATM belonging to your own bank.

• Keep a close eye on your transactions — payments that bounce for not having enough funds in your account can cost you dearly. You will be charged penalty fees for not ensuring you have money in your account for the transaction.

• Read the fine print - Always read the terms and conditions associated with your bank account. Read through the fees section carefully and ask for an explanation if anything is unclear. Your banks terms and conditions should be available in a branch or on their website. It is your responsibility to find out how much you are charged for using the banks services. A little effort now can save you a lot of money in the future.
