Overdraft Fee Regulation Changes
New regulations will cap overdraft fees charged by major U.S. banks and credit unions at $5, a significant reduction from the previous average of $35. This rule aims to alleviate the financial burden on consumers and is expected to save them around $5 billion annually once it takes effect on October 1, 2025. The initiative forms part of the Biden administration's efforts to address junk fees, though it faces criticism from banks and some lawmakers. Despite ongoing attempts to reduce these fees, American consumers still paid over $5.8 billion in overdraft and non-sufficient fund fees last year.
