Finally it’s about time we stop the big banks from screwing everyone over.
This is huge. It seems criminal for banks to charge you up to $50 when you may not even have that in your account.
34% of Canadians getting slapped with one of these fees in 2023 is bonkers. That’s like $50 million in fees taken from the people who are least able to afford it.
Should have gone the Québec route and removed NSF charges.
Quebec is often ahead of Canada as they also have election spending capped at $100 per year.
I like both of these ideas.
I’m reminded of a radio interview with, I believe, an RBC rep a couple decades ago. They were asked about their various fees and why they kept them as they were so unpopular with their customers. The response was along the lines of, “Well, it’s only a small part of our revenue.” I was sort of thinking, “What, so you can’t think of a reason, either?!”
That’s amazing! I remember being broke and being hit by NSF. It was downright devastating. $40 or $50 is a lot when you have no money.
Can anyone explain what risk or labour is involved in an NSF incident and how that’s even worth $10?
It’s 100% automatic and electronically based. The marginal cost of processing any NSF is quite literally $0. Even at $10, it’s 100% profit to the banks.
That’s good, but maybe should come sooner. I suspect there will be more NSF charges with all that bs from south
