Motion Text

That this House welcomes the announcement by the Northern Bank, following a recent consumer investigation into banking charges in Northern Ireland, that personal banking accounts will no longer be subject to fees and charges; and calls upon the other large banks currently operating in the Province, namely the Bank of Ireland, First Trust and Ulster, to offer similar facilities.
