The potential charges, says Marianne Lake, CEO of consumer and community banking at JPMorgan, are a result of new regulatory rules that cap overdraft and late fees. Lake says Chase will be passing along those increased expenses to customers, which would put an end to now-free services such as checking accounts and wealth management tools. And she says she expects other banks will follow suit.
This is your reminder to bank with a credit union if possible in your area. Non-profit is the way to go.
And, as an added tip, lots of credit unions let you open a line of credit that automatically draws if you accidentally overdraft, thereby avoiding fees.
