JPMorgan Chase warns 86 million customers they might have to start paying for their bank accounts - Lemmy.World

>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 already common in Europe. I pay like 3 euros a month for my account
Same as Canada. I pay $15 per month (minus $12 rebate for age) for my account, but that gives me free e-transfers, debit card usage, etc.

$15 a month for a bank account is less than 1 hour’s work at Canada’s minimum wage. That’s more than two hours’ worth of work at US minimum wage.

Not ridiculously expensive all things considered, but still worth noting how much a poor person would have to work just to maintain a bank account at that rate in the U.S.

You know how much I pay? 0 hours of my hard earned labor
Me too, but I joined a credit union.
