Ok basically I agree with the banks on this. What is happening is people forget overdrafts are only to be a temporary emergency source of funding but people are using them too regularly and thus they are getting charged high interest rates which isnt good for the customer.

If some one is always using an overdraft it is better financial advice to clear the overdraft with a loan which has a lower interest rate and then repay the loan.
