The debit card will get you every time. This is why I don’t have a debit card, money to easy to access would kill my saving account in a hurry.

However, my wife works at are local bank and has done a very good job at looking out for any bounced checks. So far so good.

You mean you’re not perfect! Heaven forbid!

It’s been years since I bounced a check or overdrafted, but i remember for sure that my bank was not nearly as forgiving as yours was. That’s amazing that the bank president actually reviews overdrafts.

Joe,
My family is our furlough in America and we have an account in our home country of Papua New Guinea. I just checked my account online and I also had a bounced check! The bank made an error and I will try and resolve it out when we get back at the end of this month. Those of us who write about personal finance do need a little reality now an then. Thanks.

DR,

I live in a small town and have never done anything other than small town banking. But somehow, knowing that the Bank President takes the time to personally review overdrafts, makes me feel like a customer and not a number.

Just stumbled this post! It’s stories like this that make me wonder why I still bank at Citi. I have overdraft protection tied to my account, so I normally don’t care if I overdraw the account. The interest on the overdraft protection is high, but add funds to the account immediately so the charges are minimal. That was until Citi tacked on a $10 fee on top of the interest for every single overdraft. So even with overdraft “protection,” they still hit you with a fee.
