What follows is Moebs $ervices Study on The Evolution of Overdrafts done in two parts. This is Part II – the Overdraft Solution. Part I – the History of Overdrafts was provided in the previous issue.
If you would like a copy of the full study email Tracy@Moebs.com.
The result would be:
678.2 Million debit cards purchases of gas, groceries, dentist, etc., would be declined.
60 Million Americans’ ACH payments returned NSF for cell phones, auto loans, mortgages, etc.
$33.4 Billion of overdraft revenue would not be charged the consumer.
111,000 financial institution employees would lose their jobs.
23 States have not changed limits on overdrafts in 24 years.
With compliance risk looming, is this lack of consumer concern smart?
Read how moving OD limits can reduce compliance risk, increase profits, and be consumer friendly.

The surprise is the new competitor for ODs and how they will take over the market. The answers and the new strategic direction are in the read below – don’t miss out. Happy Holidays, Mike
How often are fees changed? A question never asked to depositories. The answer is devasting for checking users. Dreadful for some providers. Yet, dynamic for other depositories. See how 3,309 financial institutions, some just like you, answered in November – last month. Happy Holidays, Mike
COVID-19 has dramatically changed how overdrafts operate reflecting consumer behavior.
