>$12.00 maintenance fee every month for holding my money?

Go elsewhere, or store your money under your mattress if that's more convenient for you. Who makes you bank with them?

>$35.00 overdraft fees?

It's a short term loan, albeit an expensive one. Should it be free? Perhaps thy should just NSF the payment? They can if you tell them to.




Mind blowingly, or not - BofA will charge you $35 for the privilege of printing "DECLINED" on a pinpad terminal.

There is the greater issue, to be sure of managing finances, but charging this fee on -electronic- transactions is highway robbery. Just say "DECLINED" and go on your way.

Oh, and for shits and giggles - Declined? Your friendly helpful cashier may say "Oh, it didn't go through" and swipe your card again. Ding. Now you have SEVENTY dollars in NSF fees.

Good luck getting that fee dropped too. "One courtesy fee reversal per customer per year".


That's a good point on the cashier swiping it again. Probably better off configuring mobile alerts to be aware of the overdraft and just letting the overdraft occur.


BoA NSF fees are also $35, except the transaction will be declined so you won't unknowingly rack up 4 of these transactions in a day.
