Members phkrause Posted January 19 Author Members Share Posted January 19 Overdraft fees could drop to as low as $3 under new Biden proposal The cost to overdraw a bank account could drop under a proposal announced by the White House, the latest effort by the Biden administration to combat fees it says pose an unnecessary burden on American consumers, particularly those living paycheck to paycheck.

Why this matters: Overdraft fees have been a financial bonanza for the banking industry, with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau estimating that banks collected $280 billion from the fees in the last 20 years. The banking industry is expected to fight the new regulation vigorously to protect the fee revenue. CFPB research has shown that overdraft fees overwhelmingly impact the poor and households of color.
