The "Is My Free Account Actually Free?" Check

You signed up for a "free" current account years ago but have a sneaking suspicion it's not so free anymore. Connect with Banknaked to get the naked truth. We'll show you all the sneaky charges that have crept in, like paper statement fees or debit card replacement costs, so you can decide if it's time to jump ship.

Prepping to Negotiate with Your Bank

Walking into a bank negotiation blind is a losing game. Arm yourself with data first. Use Banknaked to get a full report of every fee you've paid. Then, call your bank, cite the exact figures, and use our alternative recommendations as leverage to demand fee waivers or a better deal. Knowledge is power (and savings).

The Annual Financial Health Audit

You check your credit score; why not your banking fee score? Make Banknaked part of your yearly money review. A quick two-minute scan can reveal new fees your bank has introduced or highlight recurring charges for services you stopped using, ensuring your banking setup is still optimized for your life.

The Frequent Traveler or Online Shopper

If you travel abroad or buy from international sites, your bank is likely ripping you off with FX markups and transaction fees.

Is Banknaked safe to use?

Totally. We use secure, regulatory-approved Open Banking (like what powers other fintech apps). This gives us read-only access, meaning we can see your transactions to analyze fees but we CANNOT touch, move, or withdraw your money. Ever. Your data is encrypted and we're fully GDPR compliant.

What banks do you work with?

We connect with virtually all major banks and many smaller ones across Europe through Open Banking APIs. The connection process will show you a list of supported institutions when you go to link your account. If your bank offers online banking, chances are we support it.

How do you make money if the scan is free?

Our core fee audit is completely free. We believe everyone deserves transparency. We may earn a small referral fee if you choose to switch to one of our recommended banking partners through our links. This never influences our recommendations—we always show you the best options for your situation.

What if I find a fee I don't understand?

We've got you! Every fee we detect comes with a plain-English explanation breaking down what it is and why your bank charged it. No jargon. If you're still confused, our blog and resources are full of info to help you become a fee-fighting pro.
