    This is huge. It seems criminal for banks to charge you up to $50 when you may not even have that in your account.

    34% of Canadians getting slapped with one of these fees in 2023 is bonkers. That’s like $50 million in fees taken from the people who are least able to afford it.

    That’s amazing! I remember being broke and being hit by NSF. It was downright devastating. $40 or $50 is a lot when you have no money.

    Can anyone explain what risk or labour is involved in an NSF incident and how that’s even worth $10?

      It’s 100% automatic and electronically based. The marginal cost of processing any NSF is quite literally $0. Even at $10, it’s 100% profit to the banks.

    That’s good, but maybe should come sooner. I suspect there will be more NSF charges with all that bs from south
