All I can say is this will make people see the light and change to Bitcoin.

Customers have been warned that a proposed change in European Union rules may force banks to introduce annual charges of £11 on debit cards and £25 on credit cards.

The European Commission last year produced a Green Paper suggesting that "interchange fees", those imposed on retailers by the transaction firms Mastercard and Visa, should be capped or banned. Those plans are expected to be published as a firm proposal later this month.

But opponents have argued that it would force banks to pass the cost on to customers.
Telegraph Money reported earlier this year that perks on credit cards, such as cashback, could be axed or eroded, and fees might be introduced.

My solution to this is 1 get Bitcoin 2 get a debit card that is prepay. 3 Pay less fees and control your money and not let the government take money off you.
