I honestly had no idea US banks took the piss quite so much, but I did have a vague idea that many still use cheques over there, EMV/chip-and-pin was barely known and you often get charges levied on debit cards.

That really isn't the case in the UK, certainly, and I don't think it's normal practice most other places - or am I wrong?

Is this actually normal over there? Would it be practical to bank with a bank based in another country?

I know everyone's going to roll their eyes, but how does this financially compare to transfers via Bitcoin?
