Z umerous banks have significantly reduced, according to Stiftung Warentest their MRP interest in the past few months. As is apparent from an examination of the magazine “Financial Test”, sank nearly 250 from a total of 1,504 banks studied its MRP rate by at least one percentage point. The number of banks that waive one overdraft or penalty rate, grows accordingly. The overdraft interest is charged if the account is overdrawn on the granted MRP interest also.
The Consumer advocates see still further cause for criticism. For the MRP interest stood still in proportion to the current interest rates. A fair scheduling interest must be well below ten percent, called “financial test”. On August 1, 2014 would still require an MRP interest rate of 13 percent and more 35 banks. But that are less than 77 in the examination of the previous year. Moreover, some banks were offering a cheap disposable interest only in connection with a high account maintenance fee. This was rather a poor choice for consumers, said the tester.
Disposition and overdraft charges must be paid when a bank customer has no more money on the current account, but it is passed on. First, the Bank generally granted a credit facility – in short, overdraft or MRP. This allows a limited overdraft. Limit are often two or three months’ salary. The MRP rate applies to overdrafts in this framework. If the account is further coated incurred overdraft charges. These are generally several percentage points higher.
