Extra bank charges


Dutch banks charge a high tariff for old bank statements.
When Dutch people need bank statements (older than their free bank retention period), they have to pay 3€ (ING)- 5€ (Rabobank).
Thanks to online banking, the paper costs are lower, which might compensate for the cost of an extra free retention period.
The consumer association wants the banks to extend their free retention period to three years, or even better, to five years.
