The Raging Grannies were followed around yesterday by a BBC reporter because of their stealth ATM Teeth activism. It’s really exciitng to see. They also made a video of it and also created this video that we hope will get you to put up some teeth on an ATM near you too. If you like the video, send it to friends who need to break up with their big banks.
By the way, some banks are turning their overdraft fee scheme into a new kind of scheme where they charge 120% on short-term loans. Not sure what that means, except that there is no way that big banks are going to give up $15 billion in revenue that goes to pay for bonuses without refashioning it and slipping it under your nose as something else, according to Bloomberg.
This is a well-done video worth sharing:
