The potential charges, says Marianne Lake, CEO of consumer and community banking at JPMorgan, are a result of new regulatory rules that cap overdraft and late fees.

And she says she expects other banks will follow suit.
What are you going to do about it pleb? The number of banking companies in the US has fallen over 25% since 2007 via so-called stress tests. The population is quite literally tens of millions of people more in that same timespan.

Don’t like it? Make sure that the next time you hear “too big to fail” you tell your elected officials you are willing to take that risk. Everyone cut so much slack for past 4 presidents bailing out banks of course they have learned they can do what they want.
This. Banks, airlines, and I’m sure others, getting bailouts. Capitalism means risks, right? I’m tired of seeing companies getting handouts because they made poor choices, while we still don’t have free or even discounted, healthcare. Socialism is in play, but it’s being used for the rich.
