Slash Your Banking Costs: CFPB's Overdraft Fee Cap Could Save You $200 Annually
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau's (CFPB) new cap on overdraft fees is set to save consumers around $200 per year. While this move is a boon for bank account holders, the banking industry is less than impressed and is likely to introduce new fees to make up for the loss. With the average overdraft fee ranging from $30 to $35, this new cap is expected to have a significant impact on banking costs. As a result, consumers can expect to see changes in their banking fees, with some banks potentially introducing new charges for services like account maintenance and ATM withdrawals. By being aware of these changes, consumers can better manage their finances and avoid unnecessary fees, making the most of the CFPB's overdraft fee cap.
