NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- Declined! Your debit card may soon be denied for purchases greater than $100 -- or even as little as $50.

JPMorgan Chase, one of the nation's largest banks, is considering capping debit card transactions at either $50 or $100, according to a source with knowledge of the proposal.

Why? Because of a tricky thing called interchange fees.

Right now, every time you swipe your debit card, your bank charges the retailer an average fee of 44 cents, which it shares with its partners. Those little fees, however, add up to about $16 billion per year, according to 2009 data from the Federal Reserve.

But as part of the Wall Street reform legislation that was passed last year, these fees are being slashed. The Fed is currently proposing rules that would go into effect in July and would cap interchange fees at 12 cents.

That's a big enough cut to cost Chase (JPM, Fortune 500) more than $1 billion a year. And Chase may not be alone. Other major issuers are also projecting huge losses from the interchange fee cap.

Joe Price, president of consumer banking for Bank of America (BAC, Fortune 500), said in an e-mailed statement that the lower fee wouldn't fairly compensate the bank for the infrastructure and services it provides to retailers.

And consumers would end up feeling the pain when Bank of America is forced to recoup costs "by increasing the cost of their everyday debit card transactions, limiting their payment choices, and impacting industry innovation," according to the email.






yarrr like I needed any more reasons to switch to a credit union. :tard:
 
yeah, debit too. that's their cash cow actually. it's also why some places try to enforce a minimum purchase amount despite it being illegal iirc
 
that sucks but yes, get a credit union or two. if you're looking for one with a big presence here and even a bit of one in australia then you probably qualify for navy fed living where you do. biggest credit union in the world, good to have as a backup if you prefer to get a different one

I'm not a fan of banks but I don't use debit cards for anything but atm withdrawals anyways. still a dick thing for them to do and another reason to avoid going back to them

Does Navy Fed cover ATM fees?

Does my father being a Commander in the RAN help?
