A leading bank charged BD30 as the card annual fee from my friend’s account. When he noticed it in his statement, he immediately called the call centre and was promised the charge would be reversed.
There are many credit card holders who may ignore this debit due to their busy schedules, so the bank is getting additional benefits. I would suggest the Central Bank of Bahrain review the system of automatically debiting BD30 from customers even though they use the credit card substantially.
This practice must be stopped.
