I'm an expert in banking and financial services with a comprehensive understanding of various account types, fees, interest rates, and transactional details. My expertise stems from years of working in the finance sector, analyzing banking products, and staying updated on industry trends and regulations.
Let's delve into the concepts mentioned in the article:

Account Fees: These are charges levied by the bank for maintaining and using certain services associated with the account. For example, there might be a monthly maintenance fee, fees for overdrafts, or charges for additional services like issuing a banker's draft.

Interest on Current Account: Banks may offer interest on the balances maintained in current accounts. The interest rates can vary based on the account balance. Interest is usually calculated daily and paid monthly.
-
Overdraft Interest Rates: Overdrafts occur when an account holder spends more money than is available in their account. Banks charge interest on the amount overdrawn, and this interest rate can vary for arranged overdrafts and unarranged overdrafts.
-
Debit Card Transactions and Withdrawal Limits: This refers to the charges and limits associated with using a debit card for transactions and cash withdrawals. It includes details such as fees for foreign currency transactions, withdrawal limits at ATMs, and transaction limits for different types of purchases.
