Consumers are no longer going to be approved for over draft at point of sale. Which caused $35 dollar fees without the consumers knowledge. Now over the amount available transactions will be refused.

If a consumer does want this service they can opt-in

Still over draws at an ATM will generate an Over Draft Fee.

It is finally time that banks stopped bilking customers.

Hi Nightstar,

This is a fantastic rule to stop banks from charging overdraft fees without the customers knowledge. According to the Federal Reserve, no bank can charge an overdraft fee without the customer opting for it. The banks are also required to provide the customers with a detailed notice of their overdraft services.

Thanks,

Aaron

I think there was an actual law passed, it should be only a matter of time until all of the other banks fall in line.
