the fact is, the banks should be more agressive in the software they use because, in the long run, computers are cheaper than paying people to shuffle paper.
look at the immigration dept., it is in shambles because they continue to shuffle paper instead of upgrading technology constantly.
the consumers have no champion, the central bank does not care.
your choice is:do you pay 50 per month for unlimited transactions or you pay 10 per month and get nickel and dimed. all depends on the activity on your account.
some online transactions come at no extra cost, so you should take advantage of those, also use your debit card to make purchases and avoid the ATM fees.

Maybe the BUT needed some aerial photographs so the teachers may be given geography lessons.

use your old laptop, behind your own modem at home, and keep antivirus uptodate.
otoh, you can log on to your account and monitor all activity several times a day.

all fees at RBC are exorbitant. A visit to the ATM is 2.50 where it is about one dollar elsewhere.
I think they even charge for letters to verify the pensioners to the treasury.
And many employees are extremely rude.
those who bank with RBC must do so under duress or necessity.

Reminds me of the halcyon days before caller ID when the children would call a phone and ask :
> Is your toilet running?
Yes
