Wells Fargo Ends Free Checking Before New Bank Rules - Bloomberg
Wells Fargo, the U.S. bank with the largest branch network, eliminated free checking accounts for new customers as firms prepare for stricter consumer- protection measures. New basic checking accounts carry a $5 monthly fee as of July 1, said Julia Tunis Bernard, a spokeswoman for the San Francisco-based bank. Wells Fargo also established minimum deposit requirements for waiving the fee, she said
*******
The costs of reforms are adding up. So far the ones I've encountered are:
- Citi visa charging $60 annual fee - eliminated if you spent 2,400? - I can canceled
- No rollback option on my health ins
- If I get a new health plan it is a 'new' health plan; subject to congress' additions
These type of things really hurt the poor. They can not afford the minimums to avoid the fees.
I wonder what is next.
