☆ If Your Debt Is Ballooning, There Are Steps You Can Take
  + stars: | 2024-08-23 | by ( Ann Carrns | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
Americans are increasingly struggling with credit card debt and other loans, and consumers are paying more for basic banking services like A.T.M. And 42 percent of households carrying balances on credit cards reported that their overall debt level was “unmanageable,” up from 38 percent in 2022, the network found. More borrowers have been falling behind on credit card payments, especially those who have maxed out spending on their cards, according to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. Making payments on credit cards as well as car loans, student loans and other installment loans has been increasingly challenging for consumers, the financial network found. (The analysis, which the network publishes annually, is based on public data and a nationally representative survey of consumers.)

☆ Employers Can Now Enroll Workers in Some Emergency Savings Accounts
  + stars: | 2024-02-09 | by ( Ann Carrns | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
Starting this year, a federal law allows employers to enroll workers in emergency savings accounts that are linked to their retirement accounts. “I do think there is tremendous interest in emergency savings programs,” said Matt Bahl, vice president and head of workplace financial health at the Financial Health Network, a nonprofit that promotes financial well-being. Of those, about a third said they offered an emergency savings account feature and another third planned to do so in the next year or two. For instance, only workers making under a certain income limit ($155,000 for 2024) may participate, and their emergency savings are limited to $2,500, though employers can set lower ceilings. And though employers can help with contributions, they must deposit any match into the worker’s retirement account — not the emergency savings account.

☆ Big banks have drastically cut overdraft fees, but customers still paid $2.2 billion last year
  + stars: | 2024-02-09 | by ( Hugh Son Gabriel Cortés | Hugh Son | Gabriel Cortés | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +2 min
JPMorgan Chase , Wells Fargo and Bank of America reported a combined $2.2 billion in overdraft fees in 2023, roughly $700 million less than the previous year, according to regulatory filings. Overdraft fees are triggered when a customer attempts to spend more than the balance in their checking accounts. Banks say overdraft services are a lifeline that helps users avoid worse options like payday loans, while critics including President Biden say the fees exploit struggling Americans. But even before recent efforts by regulators, banks' haul from overdraft has been on the decline. Those who kept the fees, including JPMorgan, limited the types of transactions that trigger penalties, got rid of fees for bounced checks and introduced one-day grace periods and $50 cushions to reduce their frequency.

☆ Overdraft Fees Are Dwindling, Study Finds
  + stars: | 2023-06-16 | by ( Ann Carrns | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
Are the days of overdraft fees almost over? The dreaded bank fees are shrinking, even as the share of households paying them remains the same, new financial research shows. Banks charge overdraft fees to cover shortfalls when customers spend more than the amount in their checking accounts. The typical overdraft fee is $15, half the amount it was two years ago, according to Moebs Services, a financial research firm. (Its calculation is based on more than 3,600 institutions, including banks, credit unions and financial technology companies.)
