    ECOBANK charged me 20USD this month as maintenance fee and I was surprised. They are giving the lowest FX rate in the banking industry and making a lot of money yet are not able to absorb this little fee being imposed on them ...

    Yes these ECOBANK charges are said to be Maitenance charges and they are $20.00 per month. This is in addition to 3% fee on any amount withdrawn. It is not fair.

    That's why Cecilia Dapaah will not keep her dollars at the bank. I think they are encouraging all of us to also keep our dollars under our bed. What a country!!!!

    Those who were blaming Cecilia Abena Dapaah as to why she kept so much foreign liquid cash in her house will begin to eat their words.
