I’m in Britain and I really hate the eyelashes, fillers and makeup here for young girls sometimes and the intense pressure I see everywhere to get them. Poor girlies.

    I’m shocked. That really is terrible and it stinks of corruption. We would literally take to the streets in the USA if banks colluded and decided to institute an account fee.

      I am in the US. Citi bank and Chase both have monthly account fees. I am sure there are others as well these are just a few I have had experience with.

      Yet you accept huge overdraft fees per transaction done i such a way that the client pays as much as possible to the bank.

      It’s less common in the US now, but when I opened my first checking account post college, there was a small monthly fee. This was pre-2008 crash, so maybe that was outlawed around then?

      I’m old enough to remember when all, or almost all, banks in the US did have banking fees on accounts. Currently it depends on the type of account and whether the bank calls it a fee or account charge.

      As to overdraft fee’s, check and see if you can opt out of overdraft. You’ll need to keep a close eye on funds, but you can potentially save a fair bit of money in the long run.
