Money Box has learnt that Halifax Bank of Scotland has further changed the way it will charge customers who go into the red on their current accounts, after a storm of protest.
Many listeners had contacted the programme to complain about how the bank had decided to no longer charge customers interest but a fee of either £1 or £2 a day for an agreed overdraft.
The bank then told the programme it would introduce a £10 buffer zone where customers would not be charged for temporarily going into the red.
