| Why are bank fees so high?
Many Canadians are unhappy with bank fees in general, not just the fees for using another bank's cash machines highlighted by Finance Minister Jim Flaherty. They think service charges are high and increasing all the time, despite the fact that many customers are adopting low-cost electronic banking. They also feel they don't get a break from their banks for being long-time loyal customers. "About 30 years ago, we had no fees," says Caroline Hubberstey, a spokeswoman for the Canadian Bankers Association. "The cost of banking was covered off in the spread between loan rates and deposit rates. Borrowers paid for the banking activities of other clients. "Today, we have lower spreads and we have a user-pay, transparent system." Service fees from retail customers account for only about 5 per cent of bank revenues, according to a CBA publication.
