“Free falling in skydiving is not risky if you have a reliable parachute.”
Michael Moebs, Economist & Chair of Moebs $ervices, LLC (M$) a Private Financial Service Research Firm.
Lake Forest IL (May 21, 2023) M$ surveys show 40.2% of all depositories charge and 74.0% of all consumers pay $15 OD price per transaction or less as of April 1, 2023.
Moebs asks, “Why do many financial institutions fear lowering their OD price?”
Reasons appear revenue loss, penalty charging, and/or unsecured lending which is considered financially risky.
