This was stated last week by T. H. Atkinson, president of The Canadian Bankers’ Association. Mr. Atkinson's statement noted that, generally speaking, Canada is the only country where banks permit cheques to be drawn on saving ac­ counts. In most other countries, sav­ ings accounts are used to accumulate funds and no cheques can be drawn against them. At the present time, the number of cheques drawn on savings accounts is running at the rate of more than one hundred million a year and the in­ crease in the service charges was an attempt to meet part of rhe mounting cost, of the bookkeeping involved. The increased charges will still fall far short of the actual cost of providing these facilities to the public. On December 1, 1953 the hanks voluntarily increased the interest rate on savings accounts from one and one-half per cent to two per cent, to bring it more into line with the general level of interest rates in Can­ ada. That meant an increase of ap­ proximately $19,500,000 in the amount banks paid to customers who main­ tain savings accounts with them. The increase in service charges will not much exceed $2,000,000. In other word? those who hold savings accounts in the chartered banks will receive $19,500,000 in extra interest each year and those who use the chequing fac­ ility will be charged approximately $2,000,000 in extra service charges. It is only fair that those who use the special service should pay a reason­ able proportion of the cost involved. The new service charges are 10 cents per debit entry with an allow­ ance of one free cheque for a quarter­ ly balance of $100; two free cheques for a balance of $200 and three free cheques for a balance of $300 or more. No general notification was given because it was felt at the time that, in view of the differences in condi­ tions relating to individual clients’ ac­ counts, the matter could best be dealt with by individual bank staffs. Ap­ parently many clients did not receive prior notice and it now appears that it probably would have been better general notice had been given. z- Yes, Welwood’s are ready foY spring with a complete new line of Dresses for Misses and for Women.
