I think it’s patronising because for some reason people think it’s insane that you have to pay the bank for providing you with a service.

They basically have to treat their customers like children, because that’s how they act when the account fees get charged

Basically they say – As a financial institution we are incapable (or just don’t want to) to cover our operating cost by leveraging the monies you put in our bank.

Why yes! We should of course pay more, while branches are being shut down, and elderly people in particular have no social interactions at their local branch, or heaven forbid some assistance with their accounts… All with the drive to cut costs, drive up profits so the board keep their jobs

_It’s that time of year again. You’ve spent hundreds of euros on Christmas, the stress of the season can be overwhelming, but you have reached the point where you can finally relax._
_But it’s the season of giving, and we, the bank, just need a bit more. You gave us so much in 2008, and in this spirit of giving, we can go further. Together, we can create a better future for our shareholders. You, the customer, can kindly go fuck yourself._

There are plenty of European banking options that will give you competitive interest rates on your savings and charge you no maintenance fees.
The absolute gal that irish banks have to charge fees to store our cash they make money on.
