Couldn't find any previous threads about this with a search, but I was just assessing the damage from the Steam Summer Sale and randomly decided to check the messages in my online banking inbox thing, which is something I never do, but I'm glad I did because apparently Wells Fargo will be implementing a $5-$7 monthly fee for anyone that doesn't either:
Have a $1,500 minimum daily balance
or
Direct Deposit at least $500 every statement cycle
These changes are effective August 7th, 2012. I've had a Wachovia free checking account for at least 8 years now, and I'll be heading to my local branch tomorrow to find out wtf this is all about and probably end up closing my account and finding a new bank.
If you have a Wells Fargo checking account like I do and you've gone paperless, I recommend checking your inbox to see if you received a similar message. These changes are pretty fucking ridiculous for a zero perks checking account IMO, and it's a pure stroke of luck that I even caught this two weeks before the deadline.
I think the closest bank to me aside from Wells Fargo is PNC, do they have a no nonsense free checking account? I'll probably swing by there after I handle things with WF if anyone here recommends them, and I'll be without a debit card in the meantime, pain in my ass.
