My bank charges me for the stupidest things. For example, if I use an ATM not affiliated with my bank, they charge me two dollars, even if I’m just checking my balance. This is in addition to the $3.50 the ATM usually charges. Last month, my paycheck bounced, and my bank charged /me/, as if that’s my fault.
Are there any banks that don’t charge for things like this?
Yes. They are called Credit Unions.
Well they are a business. The problem with choosing a credit union or some small local bank is that if you travel and need to use an ATM, you may pay additional fees because only the big banks have ATM’s everywhere.
