Service Charges
We would like to advise our customers that we have gone live with a revised Schedule of Service Charges effective from December 1, 2009. These charges have been aligned with market conditions and ensure that we continue to maintain the same high standards of service you have come to expect from us. The schedule also takes into account prevailing trends in the local banking industry and allows for the rising cost of providing efficient banking services and transactions on a sustainable basis to all our valued customers.
Please note that all special rates agreed with the Bank on an individual basis remain unchanged unless the Bank sends a specific notification advising revisions if any.
