But it’s not that easy. I also have not had an overdraft fee in decades, because I am financially stable and can afford it. However I also remember more desperate times when I paid so much in fees and still don’t think there was a better approach.
Credit unions generally have lower fees but they still have some, and many require a good credit score to join. Works for me, now.
Some banks/credit unions now let you chose to have a transaction you couldn’t afford rejected rather than charge a fee. It’s a crime that this wasn’t always the case
Some banks now process checks in the order received, rather than an order which maximizes the number of fees they can charge, should some of them overdraft. It is also a crime that this wasn’t always the case
