The Wiz on the Street

The Federal Reserve is prohibiting banks from collecting overdraft fees on purchases paid with a debit card unless customers opt in to programs that guarantee their balance-exceeding transactions go through. So the Wizard hit the streets again, asking, "What do you think?"



Marc Mercer,

"Well, okay. So long as I still get penalized for using my credit cards."



Kelly Jolicouer,
Commercial Construction Estimator
"I usually send them a few bucks when I go over, anyway, just for their trouble."



Ray Mason,
Unemployed
"I guess banks will just have to make money the old-fashioned way: selling bad mortgages and causing a global financial collapse."
