Someday, You'll Pay Everything With A Debit Card Anyway
-
Here's another article warning you that you'll be very, very hard-pressed to find free checking accounts now that the feds are regulating credit card swipe fees and banks are looking for other ways to make you pay. The idea that banks need to charge you to access your own money is odd, considering that they're supposed to make their money by investing your funds (and everyone else's) and passing their investment woes along to you isn't fair when, on a normal checking account, they don't pass the money they make on to you. But if you can meet minimum balance requirements or have direct deposit or have a mortgage with your bank, you might be able to hold onto free checking for now. (USA Today)
