Hidden Bank Charges on Your Checking Account - as part of the expert series by GeoBeats. It is so common to have a bank account, bank checking and saving account, that a lot of people do not read the fine lines and find out what fees they may be charged. So, it is important to be aware of that because you do not want to be nickel and dimed on your bank account. There is nothing more annoying than that. So, some of the fees that you could be charged, and you should know about, are overdraft fees. Some banks charge if you use an ATM other than your bank. You are definitely going to want to know about that. Some charge you if you do not keep a certain balance, minimum balance in your account. You will want to know what that minimum balance is and keep it there. And some charge for transfers between bank accounts. So, and they do not necessarily tell you all of this when you open an account. Understand what the fees will be, and be willing to pay them. If you are not willing to pay them, you could find there are a lot of banks that do no... they have no fee checking accounts, for example, and I would definitely consider those.
