Wells Fargo plans to test market a $3 monthly fee for debit cards in some areas. JP Morgan Chase is already charging a $3 fee in some places, such as Wisconsin. Regions Bank, too, has already begun charging a $4 monthly debit card fee, as well as Sun Trust Bank. which now charges a $5 monthly debit card fee.Fuck the banksters with a dildo wrapped with barbed wire.
Here's what you do, folks: Use a credit card and pay that sucker off, in full, every month. Or write a check. Or go to the ATM at the bnak from time to time (most banks don't charge a fee for using their ATMs), draw out some cash and use it.
If your bank is hitting you with a fee for a debit card, take the debit card back to them and tell one of the "customer service" people to cancel it.
Or better yet, take your money out of those fucking banks and go to a bank that doesn't charge a fee for a debit card.
The fees are insane. It's not as though any humans are involved in processing the debit transactions. It's just these thieving banksters, who were bailed out with taxpayer money, thanking the American people by screwing them a little bit more.
So next time you assholes need a bailout:

I pay no fees. I pay no interest. I will never pay either. If a bank will not pay me in money or services for holding my money then I do not do any business with them. It has been that way for about 35 years.
Two words: Credit union.
I've seen people making excuses about why they can't do all their "banking" through a credit union. None of them hold any water. For example, the whole "but I'm travelling, how do I withdraw money or deposit money?!" notion. Err, through one of the tens of thousands of ATM's that are part of the NCUA (National Credit Union Association) network? Through one of the thousands of Credit Union Service Centers that will allow you to make a deposit to your account in a credit union thousands of miles away? Huh!
Basically, the only reason to *not* join a credit union is that you're not eligible for some reason. And even there, you're likely eligible if you put even the tiniest bit of effort into it. For example, the Friends of the Library in one city that I lived in was a credit union member -- all you had to do to join the credit union was become a *FREE* member of the Friends of the Library and voila! In another city I lived in, all customers of the water district were eligible to join the water district's credit union. That was approximately 1/4th of that metropolitan area. I haven't banked with a "bank" in over a decade, and don't miss it one bit.

I agree with BadTux, but with the proviso: be sure the credit union isn't one that had executives trying to turn it into a bank.
