Isn't KVB a government undertaking bank? I wasn't able to find any information regarding it. Considering KVB applying those charges which are hidden. Imagine what hidden charges are charged by banks like ICICI, Kotak and other private sector bank. I once had a saving account with HSBC they were notorious in charging customer. For everything you do on your savings account they would have some changes or the other after a certain limit. I cancelled my account and moved to SBI, till date they have not charged me anything stupid. After your revelation about hidden transaction charge I would be contacting the Branch manager about it.
KVB isn't a nationalized bank as far as I know, but it's a private bank with 100+ years successful track record.
Every bank has charges even SBI too, but private sector literally charges for everything and RBI allows it this is unacceptable when government want all our transaction to happen via digital mode.
Talking about SBI, I had bitter experience using their account and approaching the branch, so it's been years since I touched my SBI account so it forces us to use these private sector banks such as ICICI, Axis, HDFC, and others for better user experience.
Good to know that. I guess many people won't be aware of such charges on their debit transactions.
Banks have been looting us since a long time. It's good that people are becoming wiser these days and keeping a track of their personal finance.
Everyone should pay more attention to such miscellaneous charges. We never know how much it can accumulate over time.
Once there were few demat charges in my account which shouldn't have been there.
So I had a fight over phone with the banking staff after which they credited the demat charges back to my account.
Even most of the bank employees are not aware of these misc fees, to confirm the fee I have been transferred to multiple people when contacting their support.
Always keep tracking your monthly bank statements.
