Hello EI,
Long time no speak!!

I need to rant, bitch and then ask a question so here goes.....

Fucking bank charges.

When I opened an account here a while back I didn't actually consider how much the charges would mount up. I'm a heavy card user and almost never use cash (despite my profession ;-) ) and this year alone I've racked up almost €100 in charges!!! WHAT.THE.ACTUAL.FUCK! Now some were refunded when I pointed out I kept over €3000 in the account but even if it drops 1c under the €3000 they fuck you for fees.

Unlike some on here, I don't like paying to be screwed ;-)

So anyway coming from the uk where accounts are free, I don't keep an eye on my spending. I rarely check my balance because you know, I have a life.

I graduated two years ago. Is a graduate account a possibility to avoid fees?

Also why the hell do you even pay fees here? Paying someone to take your money.....I mean there is Irish and then there is that!

I feel like we should start some sort of revolt against this. It's insane and I'm annoyed.
