Summary
The Biden Administration, through the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), is capping overdraft fees at $5, down from $35, starting Oct. 1, 2025.
The move, targeting “junk fees,” could save U.S. consumers $5 billion annually.
The CFPB suggests banks adopt cost-based fees or offer overdraft credit lines while disclosing interest rates.
Industry groups oppose the rule, and its future is uncertain under a Republican-controlled Congress and the incoming Trump administration.
Watch it have some provision included that allows them to change how often they charge this fee or something.
