Free banking will go, says RBS chief

“Savers eventually will have to pay for their current accounts, according to the new chief executive of Royal Bank of Scotland. Ross McEwan, the head of Britain’s second-biggest current account provider, said that free banking would come to an end because up-front fees were more transparent. RBS had no plans to scrap free banking, but he cast the eventual adoption of a fee-based system in the context of making banks more straightforward for customers. He said in a weekend interview: ‘I think [the end of free banking] is something that will be addressed in the marketplace.’”
