Statement of fees
- Convenient cost summary of your current account
- For easy comparison with other banks
The statement of fees gives you an at-a-glance overview of all the fees and charges you have paid for your current account, as well as any interest you have paid or received on your current account balance.
This cost summary is issued to you under the EU Payment Accounts Directive (PAD). 'Statement of fees' is the official name we are required by law to use for this cost summary.

The statement of fees was introduced in November 2018, as required under the EU Payment Accounts Directive (PAD).
