However Belgian accounts may not be always very transparent, they do belong to the “cheapest” ones in Europe according to a research of the European Commission. The problem is that banks do not provide the necessary amount of information (about prices, tariffs, etc.) to calculate ones total cost for their account. A Belgian pays a yearly average of €58 for their current account, while in Italy people pay €253 every year. Be aware Belgians, in the future the prices of banking services will grow towards each other and that means you will have to pay more!
