Packaged Bank Accounts attract a regular monthly fee, generally between £5 – £30, in exchange for various products such as mobile, travel and breakdown insurance, to name a few.
Much like PPI, it appears banks have abused their position to mis-sale these accounts in order to generate obscene profits at the expense of their customers.

Yorkshire Bank’s own brand of Packaged Bank Account is called a ‘Signature Current Account’.
It sounds sophisticated and promises a range of benefits which extend beyond banking services.
For a fee of £13.50 per month, Yorkshire Bank’s Packaged Bank Account includes products such as travel insurance, car breakdown cover, mobile phone and gadget insurance.
Unfortunately, however, customers have been paying for services they do not need or are ineligible for.
What looks like a good deal that saves money is, in many cases, a complete waste of money.
Headquartered in Leeds, England, Yorkshire Bank was established in 1859.
It is a division of Clydesdale Bank plc and operates in England and Wales. Nowadays, both the Yorkshire Bank and Clydesdale Bank plc are owned by National Australia Bank.
In recent years the National Australia Bank has scaled back its UK operations which, in 2005, led to the closure of 40 Yorkshire Bank branches.
In November 2014, National Australia Bank announced plans to completely exit from the UK market and, as part of this process, the intended flotation of Clydesdale Bank plc on the London Stock Exchange with the hope of raising £2 billion.
