Finally it’s about time we stop the big banks from screwing everyone over.

This is huge. It seems criminal for banks to charge you up to $50 when you may not even have that in your account.

34% of Canadians getting slapped with one of these fees in 2023 is bonkers. That's like $50 million in fees taken from the people who are least able to afford it.

Should have gone the Québec route and removed NSF charges.

[–] Sunshine@lemmy.ca 1 points 44 minutes ago

Quebec is often ahead of Canada as they also have election spending capped at $100 per year.

That's amazing! I remember being broke and being hit by NSF. It was downright devastating. $40 or $50 is a lot when you have no money.

Can anyone explain what risk or labour is involved in an NSF incident and how that's even worth $10?

[–] Zerberr@lemmy.ca 7 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago)

That's good, but maybe should come sooner. I suspect there will be more NSF charges with all that bs from south
