It is here: crime tax!

PlainName:
Particularly sensible if your company account is with the same bank as your personal account - they will raid one to pay the other without asking if it comes to the crunch.

Yep. Same for mortgage. Never have a mortgage at the same bank as your personal / business accounts.

Governments do the same... You pay tax so your government can spend that on investigating criminal activities.

But instead it feels like your tax money is being wasted on a lot of other things and crime fighting is left behind.

Unless you live in another country then where you like to have your bank account. Hell I had an account closed last year due to the fact that I don't live in the Netherlands or Germany, because their Germain customers are still welcome. The bank is established in the Netherlands. Long live Europe.

And this charging of fees is just the new trend. Like the negative interest, that now is reversed again, but when it started many banks followed that trend. So moving to another bank won't be free for long.

But it is certainly wise to have your eggs in multiple baskets.
