Don't see the problem with it, to be honest...

...as far as I can make out they're intended to be a seperate 'stream' of HSBC anway. As their spokesman on FiveLive said last night, they're aiming at a higher-earning market than their sister company anyway, so what's the problem?

Only thing it might do is encourage other banks to start to charge too, but there'll be so many protests from people it'll never be pushed through.
