Chase Helps More Than Two Million Customers Avoid Overdraft Service Fees

“Increasing the cushion to $50 from $5 has helped many Chase customers who didn’t expect a check or electronic payment to post, or just don’t have enough money in their checking account. Customers value access to overdraft services so that they can avoid late fees when making payments on important bills like utilities and rent, avoid negative impacts to their credit score, and can continue making every day purchases like groceries with debit card coverage. And now with the $50 cushion, they can continue to have access to the service without incurring overdraft service fees as long as their account isn’t more than $50 overdrawn at the end of the business day.”
