The potential charges, says Marianne Lake, CEO of consumer and community banking at JPMorgan, are a result of new regulatory rules that cap overdraft and late fees. Lake says Chase will be passing along those increased expenses to customers, which would put an end to now-free services such as checking accounts and wealth management tools. And she says she expects other banks will follow suit.

          They seem about the same as most other banks over here. Their app is maybe slightly behind the challenger banks like Monzo and Starling, but well ahead of some of the big banks (looking at you HBOS and Santander). So while they keep giving me money I don’t really care. If I were banking for mortality I’d have to use CO-OP or maybe Nationwide anyway because I can’t imagine any of the big banks don’t have blood on their hands.

          Chase’s savings account has one of the best interest rates on the market in the UK at the moment. Plus the 1% cashback on all transactions and until it finishes next month 1% interest on my current account.

          If (or probably when) they stop being so competitive I’ll drop them like a stone though.

    Do you think that gutting Chevron and the FTC’s regulatory authority has anything to do with this?

    I mean, it’s not like banks aren’t already making buckets of money…

      Not sure about that case specifically, but in general lack of regulation unleashes enshittificatory impulses. This comment may be aimed more at conservative voters or politicians to convince them (or at least let them claim) that pro-consumer regulation actually harms “consumer welfare.”

        I’ve met one of these zero-regulation idiots thinking that somehow the average Joe benefits from giving all power to anyone with lots of money who isn’t them.

          Just ask those dickholes how many times they’ve had the chance to vote for JP Morgan Chase’s or Walmart’s or ExxonMobil’s CEO.

          Then ask them how many opportunities they’ve had to elect Presidents and Congressmembers.

    I don’t know if being forced to cease charging predatory fees should be considered “increased expenses”. You were taking money from customers that they didn’t have. It cost you nothing to do that. It costs you nothing to stop doing that. All you’re saying now is that “we can’t extort so much money out of you with overdraft fees anymore. So we’re going to figure out a different way to do it.”

    Fucking gross.

    I feel like there should be some kind of legal framework that prevents corporations from just passing on regulatory costs to the customer like this

    The US should bring back the postal banking system. Japan has one and I was surprised after moving here to learn that the US used to as well.

    Welp the day that happens I’ll bring my tiny bank account elsewhere. Even if the other banks have similar fees. Chase has done nothing to gain my loyalty or trust and I have used them since they were Washington Mutual.
