Overdraft fees are nothing to sneeze at. Having not always been a model bank customer, I know how it feels like an unfair punishment to have roughly $30 taken away when my account is already negative.

While working at Bank of America, I learned a magic phrase that I hadn’t heard before: “verify funds.” When someone writes you a check (I know, it’s 2009, but even I use them sometimes for plumbers or whatnot), you may feel uncomfortable about whether the check author has enough money to cover it. If you’ve ever ... Continue reading this article…

Updated March 31, 2009: Chase has been ordered by NY Attorney General to refund the money gathered from the process described below.

February 5, 2009 update: The following information has expired. Washington Mutual no longer offers these rates. Less than a month ago, Washington Mutual increased the interest rate offered on the bank’s savings account to 4.0 percent APY. This came as the bank was trying to attract capital. Since then, WaMu was in danger of failing and ... Continue reading this article…

Credit cards simply are no longer offering the enticing deals in order to lure customers. Even though credit card companies have been willing to offer strong cash back rebates and introductory 0 percent APR deals, they’ve done so knowing that they can make up the loss through interest rates from defaulted customers and interchange fees. ...

If forced to categorize, I’ve found that there are two main types of credit card users. Type A credit card users use debt to buy what they cannot afford and often pay much more than they need to thanks to interest. On the other side of the spectrum, Type B credit card users ...
