Being charged a $2 bank fee for just calling Wells Fargo only pushes me to endorse an online company like EverBank more. For yet another time, I was caught by surprised with “hidden fees”.
Some of you may remember the monthly bank fees my original business checking account incurred a while back. At the [...]

It works out for the banks because CDs have a fixed time period where there are penalties for early withdrawal, giving institutions a high confidence that the deposits can be [...]

It is not what you expect but what you inspect. I noticed that my Wells Fargo basic business account charged me a $12 “monthly service fee” when I was looking over my statement. Apparently, in order for the fees to be waived, I need either:
a $6,000 average balance (calculated per day) or
be enrolled with [...]

I’ve contemplated about switching my checking account to the online high yield checking account (ING’s electric orange or ETrade’s online account come to mind) before. I will be honest, I wanted to switch not because I liked the other two companies better but mainly due to a high(er) yield when compared to my current [...]

I just realized that I never balanced a checkbook nor do I even know what balancing a checkbook is!
