On: Bill to ban hidden fees in California signed into law

Yeah it's annoying, but that still doesn't make it a hidden fee. They tell you upfront, and your "opt out" is to not overdraft your account.

[tadfisher → hot_gril]

Banks in the US must provide a way to opt out of the overdraft "service", after which they will simply decline transactions instead of overdrafting the account and charging for the privilege.

I agree fully. It's just not a junk fee similar to the hotel ones.

you don't see how going to the bank during work hours to get an overdraft charge would be difficult for a lower income person? I'm going to guess you live in the suburbs for one and that you have a vehicle and a flexible, white collar work schedule.

Did you reply to the correct person? But yes I have three cars and a flexible work schedule, as well as premium bank support.
