The UK’s financial regulator has asked banks to explain how they have decided their new overdraft rates.
The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) said most High Street banks had set “very similar prices”, after it demanded changes to the system.
Several big brands including Santander, Lloyds Banking Group and HSBC are set to bring in a 39.9% rate this year.
