Bank charges: Giving something back

This is Money is lucky enough to have some very informed and helpful members in the message boards. These volunteer consumer champions have been great in dishing out advice on bank charges.

By way of thanks, This is Money offered to pay 50p to their chosen charity each time somebody signed up to our weekly newsletter, a round-up of the best news and advice on issues such as bank charges, investment, house prices, and much more.

I'm delighted to say we had 1098 people sign up - so a cheque for £549 is winging its way to the charity - http://www.childrensholidays.org.uk/donate.html#onlinedonation

ive got a small buisness, Barclays bank charges for small buisnesses are to me a rip off. They charge us to put our maney in, 65p for every £100, for every £100 of change i think its £1.65 so it costs me 16.5 p to change a £10 note... My shop owes them nothing yet they charge us between £300-400 a quarter just for banking my money and change. They seem to be getting all there money out of small buisnesses.
