preçário (a bank's price list)

A mandatory document in which a bank lists all its fees and terms. It is available on the bank's website and in its branches. The rule is simple: a bank may only charge a fee if it is set out in the contract and the price list; if a new fee is introduced, you must be told in advance.

Where you come across it. Choosing an account, a dispute over a charge, a complaint against a bank, comparing banks.
Banco de Portugal collects every bank's price list in the comparador de comissões — there you see the real cost of an account, not the one in the advert for an account package. Before complaining, save a copy of the price list as it stood on the date you were charged.
