It would be remiss of me as an opening speaker not to mention the credit card interest rate increase. The public is annoyed with the increase in credit card fees coming up to the Christmas spend. Every member is dissatisfied with the announcement in recent days on the issue and is reflecting the public view. How many card holders does the bank have and how many people will be affected by the change? Will all the bank’s credit card holders be affected or only some of them? My good lady wife gave out to me last night about Bank of Ireland and the increase in credit card fees.
