Sadly for you and me, A&L are the worst bank on the planet. I wrote a cheque that placed my account over my O/D limit by 50 pence, they bounced the cheque and charged me £34 THEN and additional £25 for exceeding my overdraft limit. Not sure what the APR is for this but it has lots of zeros.

They are the scum of the earth and the rest do not appear to be much different..............
