Common Bank Fees to Watch Out For

Monthly Maintenance Fees

Average: $5-$15/month

Traditional banks charge this just for having an account. Online banks? Almost always $0.

ATM Fees

Average: $2.50-$3.50 per withdrawal

Plus your bank charges you, AND the ATM owner charges you. Online banks offer 50,000+ free ATMs.

Overdraft Fees

Average: $30-$35 per incident

One of the most expensive fees. Many online banks offer free overdraft protection or no fees at all.

Wire Transfer Fees

Average: $15-$35 outgoing

Domestic wire transfers can be pricey. Some online banks offer free or low-cost alternatives.

Minimum Balance Fees

Average: $5-$12/month

Charged if your balance drops below a threshold (often $500-$1,500). Online banks usually have $0 minimums.

Paper Statement Fees

Average: $2-$5/month

Some banks charge for mailing statements. Go paperless and save!

Real Example: The $1,000+ Annual Fee Trap

Meet Sarah, a typical traditional bank customer:

Monthly maintenance fee: $12 × 12 = $144/year
ATM fees: $3.50 × 4 times/month × 12 = $168/year
Overdraft fees: $35 × 3 times/year = $105/year
Paper statements: $3 × 12 = $36/year
Wire transfer: $25 × 2 = $50/year

Sarah's total annual loss: $503

Over 10 years: $5,030 😱

When Sarah switched to an online bank with zero fees, she saved $503 per year and invested it in a high-yield savings account earning 4.5% APY. After 10 years, she has an extra $6,300+ thanks to the savings + compound interest.
