Overdraft protection can be costly, government study finds
Tue Jun 11, 2013
- Overdraft protection is a ripoff any which way you slice it. If you opt in and use it, you get charged a fee for the bank having to inject a transfer transaction into that account ahead of the overdrafting payment transaction.
