Debit card charges?


Posted: Oct 5, 2011

There has been a lot on the news about banks starting to charge a monthly fee to use a debit card unless you carry a very large balance.  Will you voice your disapproval and move your accounts to another bank if your bank starts charging?  I think that bank boycotts could be very effective.

I believe we should all support local small businesses, farmers' markets, buy made in America whenever possible, and avoid shopping at big chain stores and online mega websites.  Keep your money in the local community.

It's cheaper than fees banks now charge on once free checking accounts. No need for postage and am done with online bill pay. Cut up the credit cards last year and have been making purchases with cash ever since. If I can't find a credit union that appreciates their customers, I'll do without before paying checking account charges, debit card fees coming and going at POS and again at the end of the statement cycle, and will NEVER pay charges for a statement hard copy! I am so done with all that.

I'm headed to a credit union, too. The banks - can take their fees and shove 'em. -nm

My daughter has an account with BofA and is planning on switching banks when it happens. The change doesn't go into effect until 2012, so she has plenty of time to find a better financial institution.

BofA is evil.... - ccgirl

Their business loan enabled me to get and stay in business, and at a very reasonable interest rate.

Yep, I already have switched. Wells Fargo is already charging a monthly fee for debit cards. I agee with VTMT that we need to start supporting local businesses, I've tried to do that the last couple of years.

I'm at Wells, too. Are you in CA? What C.U. - did you switch to? (Im shopping..)

So Nervous About Target Debit CardApr 05, 2013
I was shopping at Target recently and a clerk told me about the Target debit card where you automatically get 5% off on purchases. I jumped on it, filled out an application, and now I'm a serious nervous wreck when I think about all the information I gave up, which was everything - name, address, phone number, social security number, driver's license and bank account number. What an idiot! I regret it a thousand times over now. I'm so paranoid about identify theft, I can' ...

Debit Card Fraud Take My AdviceMay 10, 2013
I knew better from listening to Clark Howard, that it is risky to use debit cards online and in places like gas stations.  My checking account got hacked, 1500 dollars worth of charges.  I know it was from using the debit card online.  I won't know until Monday if the charges actually will go through, they are pending.  With a credit card you are covered with identify theft, with a debit card apparently not.  Take it from me, don't use your debit card online. & ...
