i had a Bank of America account in college that was free if you didnt use the inside of the bank. like ATMs, online banking/deposits, all that stuff was fine, but if you went inside to a teller you got a 9 dollar service charge for that month. it obviously also had a balance minimum that could make it free but i wasn’t hitting that.
even that bare minimum should be required from all banks, imo.
Several banks, ally for example, have no fee accounts that come with up to $100 cash advance. Ally used to not overdraft anything on debit cards and gave $10 overdraft but you could still overdraft via check. Now debit/check is $100. May require auto deposit not sure.
But this should be a basic framework required by all banks.

I got a job from Quora. I posted about how transitioning from poker to bay street was hard and that the CFA hadn’t helped much and a MBA would have been better when someone asked if the CFA was worth it. Someone read my answer and messaged me, then we had coffee downtown and he got me a job at a bank.
