Nowadays it seems everyone is trying to squeeze you for money even when they already have it. According to a new report your bank wants more bang from your bucks. A study by the government accountability office shows bank fees for things like overdrafts, insufficient funds and returned checks have gone up 10-percent or more since 2000.
And those increased fees are helping fuel bank profits. According to the study, income from these fees now makes up 27-percent of the average bank's profits. And getting the info you need to keep your bank fees in check isn't easy.
GAO investigators posed as secret shoppers and found it impossible to get fee information at one if five banks, even if they walked in and asked.
