If allowed, I will always disable them, and when not allowed, I will change banks to one that will allow it.
- jk563 10y agoI agree with the sentiment, though I'd argue they're getting better. For example the Nationwide FlexDirect current account[0] comes with a £1,200 overdraft limit that gets charged at 50p per day it's used. A vast improvement in my mind, I remember getting charged around £30 for going £2 overdrawn for less than 2 hours!
