When the news came in May that African Bank opened for banking, I switched immediately. Zero monthly charges and I will save R100 per month. I am a rational optimiser, not married to a bank. I am mostly a transactional user and I don’t see a reason why EFT should cost money. Also, why monthly charges? Banks should make money by taking our deposits and investing them, not by paying R2.20 for EFT. Big banks must learn.
