Save on bank fees
Many of us have experienced the frustration of bank charges that pop up at any time, without warning. Think about the moment when you had to make a quick transfer to a bank branch for a relatively small amount of BGN 2,5 to 10, only to find that the transaction fee was greater than the amount itself. Even attempts to close an account can result in additional fees, and withdrawing money from your bank’s ATM can now also incur a fee. With the right information, however, you can quickly make decisions about changing your bank, closing unnecessary accounts or negotiating your current terms, saving you time and money. Let’s look at a few key issues that can help you save on bank fees.

In our review of bank fees, some fees appeared whose purpose is not entirely clear, prompting us to investigate further. An example of this is the fee of BGN 1.17 charged by DSK bank on April 1, although on April 2 the same bank had already charged a basic fee of BGN 5.29. Such situations require additional clarification with the bank to understand the reasons for the repeated charging .
Which bank offers me better conditions?
The choice of a bank is based on a detailed comparison between the fees and the services they offer. Based on the analysis made using the BoroBit application, you can easily determine which bank offers the most favorable conditions according to your needs.
- Compare fees for account maintenance, interbank transfers, ATM withdrawals and other operations.
