Good or Evil – Debit Cards ?
© Norine Peardon, September, 2009
Unfortunately, banks are aware of the poor spending habits of its customers, and have really sucked people in, thinking a debit card serves them well. For the record, debit cards can be real evil; I have not discovered the good!
In the “old days”, banks charged their customers sometimes just a monthly fee on a checking account and sometimes, a fee per check, and sometimes, both. Slowly, due to competition and needing depositors, “free checking” was incorporated into the banking industry.
