@Carsten ***********
have 4 accounts with them...all fees pretty much the same. I have debit cards attached.

I get message for each debit or fee. And what it was billed from.

depending on Province...can't call.

Not one bank or branch answer phone.

You have to go to bank.

Have been with bkb over 20 years, in last 4 years, closed half branches. All your old numbers are discontinued.

At bank, they are indifferent, state: bank policy !
