"The report takes it upon itself to present the servicing of banking capital from new bank accounts opened by those – few – who do not have a bank account, allegedly in order to service the needs of the ‘citizens’ and protect their alleged right to a bank account. The main issue that interests the rapporteur is the development of the internal capitalist market of the EU and of e-commerce, for the benefit of financial capital. The empty words about everyone’s right to access a bank account and about not allowing discrimination by the banks merely serve to conceal the real purpose, which is to serve the interests of banking capital. The wish list contained in the report cannot conceal the fact that banking capital uses access to bank accounts held by the workers/depositors to sell them various other ‘services’ (credit cards, micro loans, overdrafts and so on), thereby causing them to rack up excessive debts, taking advantage of the fact that the capitalist system cannot satisfy grassroots needs and thus forcing the workers to take recourse to extortionate banking capital. The report recognises the right of the banks to charge a ‘reasonable’ cost for bank accounts, which they can also use to squeeze small depositors dry, leaving to one side the legal scandals of banks imposing excessive charges on small depositors on various pretexts and with various excuses."@en1
