“A cap of $10 was chosen to balance the need to protect consumers from high fees with the need to maintain the integrity of the payments system by incentivizing consumers to honour their payments,” the department wrote.
Nonsense, just cancel the transaction then.
Having had a bank account in Europe for nearly 20 years, I never paid a dime for not having enough money in the account. The transaction just fails.
I’m so confused.
I wish we had that.
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.
Finally it’s about time we stop the big banks from screwing everyone over.
Should have gone the Québec route and removed NSF charges.
Quebec is often ahead of Canada as they also have election spending capped at $100 per year.
I like both of these ideas.
I’m reminded of a radio interview with, I believe, an RBC rep a couple decades ago. They were asked about their various fees and why they kept them as they were so unpopular with their customers. The response was along the lines of, “Well, it’s only a small part of our revenue.” I was sort of thinking, “What, so you can’t think of a reason, either?!”
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.
Non-sufficient ? Do you mean insufficient ?
I don’t mean anything, as I didn’t write the headline.
Ouhhhhh you saucy
I like you
But if you were to have written the headline, and could only eat either a hamburger or a hot dog today, how many shoes would you own if next Tuesday was a full moon?
Purple.
I FUCKING KNEW IT!
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
