Here are 50 ways banks are earning from you through bank fees, penalties or charges. 

This list is not to condemn banks. We need banks.

This is just to make you aware there are a lot of bank fees and what these fees are, so you can be smart about them.

These bank fees are not only charged in the Philippines -- most of these fees are also charged by banks in other countries.

Here are 50 Ways You're Making the Banks Richer with Bank Fees:

ACCOUNT MAINTENANCE FEES

1. Below-maintaining-balance fee
    This is among the most common fees charged by banks, based on complaints online. One OFW wrote to this blog, saying she was charged 300 pesos for 15 months for a total of 4,500. She did not know that the minimum Monthly Average Daily Balance (MADB) or maintaining balance was increased.

2. Dormancy fee
    This is common among OFWs who are too busy with their work abroad they forget to remit to their accounts. A savings account becomes dormant if there's no deposit or withdrawal within 2 years. The time frame for a checking account is only one year.

3.  Interregional-branch over-the-counter deposit fee
     It's great to say that BPI, BPI Family, Union Bank, EastWest Bank, Sterling Bank of Asia and some big RCBC branches do not impose this fee.  This is one of the reasons why many online sellers use BPI accounts for collecting payments from their customers. Their customers will not have to pay deposit fees.

4.  Fee for exceeding maximum number of monthly withdrawals for special accounts
      This is usually imposed on higher-interest accounts.

5.  Lost passbook replacement fee

6.  Dollar withdrawal fee (withdrawing more than maximum amount)

7.  Dollar deposit fee (depositing more than maximum amount)

8.  Early account closure fee
    Fee for closing your account within one month from opening date

9.  Bank statement or certification fee  


ATM or ATM CARD OR DEBIT CARD FEES

10.  Another-bank's ATM withdrawal fee
     This is perhaps the most common fees charged by banks, and the most ignored by cardholders ("15 pesos lang naman...").

11.  Another-bank's ATM balance-inquiry fee

12.  Same-bank ATM withdrawal fee for special accounts

13.  Over-the-counter withdrawal fee for ATM accounts
       Banks say your ATM account is ATM-based, so you should use only the ATM for withdrawals.
       Your withdrawal should be free if the machine is out of order, or if you need more than the daily maximum ATM withdrawal amount.

14.  ATM card or debit card replacement fee

15.  Overseas ATM  withdrawal fee
       This usually costs US$3.50 per ATM withdrawal. Some ATMs abroad also charge their own fees.

16.  Overseas ATM balance inquiry fee
       This usually costs US$1.00.

17.  Overseas ATM withdrawal rejection fee
      These fees for overseas withdrawals are in addition to fees charged by some ATMs abroad for foreign-issued ATMs.

18.  Fee for exceeding maximum number of ATM withdrawals (for special debit cards)
       Usually, you are limited to 2 to 4 free ATM withdrawals a month.

19.  Funds transfer to another local bank

20.  Foreign-issued ATM card fee
        

CASH CARD or PREPAID CARD FEES

21.  Cash card or prepaid card over-the-counter deposit fee

22.  Cash card inactivity fee
       Fee for not doing any transaction for more than 12 months

23.  Same-bank cash card ATM withdrawal fee

24.  Another-bank cash card ATM withdrawal fee

25.  Cash card replacement fee

26.  Visa or Mastercard prepaid card annual fee
        This is charged for Visa or Mastercard prepaid cards not linked to a savings account.


REMITTANCE or FUNDS TRANSFER FEES

27.  Fee for inward remittance from overseas
        Nagbayad ka na sa remittance company sa abroad, may bayad pa sa bangko? Yes!
        In some cases, banks get their remittance fee through their foreign exchange conversion rate.

28.  Fee for outward remittance to overseas

29.  Correspondent bank fee for outward remittance to overseas
     
30.  Intermediary bank fee for inward remittance to another local bank

31.  Fee for outward funds transfer to another local bank

32.  Fee for incoming funds transfer from another local bank

33.  Fee for funds transfer using debit/credit memo over-the-counter


CHECKING ACCOUNT FEES

34.  Returned check fee
       This could range from 2,000 to 2,500 pesos

35.  Stop payment order fee
        This is usually also 2,000 pesos.

36.  Fee for depositing a returned dollar check
 
37.  Check retrieval fee

38.  Over-the-counter check encashment
       (Isn't this free? It has always been, but now some banks want you to deposit the check, not encash over the counter.)

39.  Manager's check fee



CREDIT CARD FEES

40.  Late payment fee
       If your due date is a holiday, Saturday or Sunday, pay before your due date.  
       If you're paying by check, pay several days before to allow for the 3-day to 7-day check clearing period.

41.  Over credit-limit fee
      You spent more than your available credit limit.
      (Why don't the banks decline the card usage? Well, you might sue them for embarrassment or for loss of business opportunity, so they might as well allow you to go over your limit, and just charge you a fee. Isn't that clever?)

42.  Annual fee

43.  Fee for making multiple payments per month
       Fee for making more than 2 or 3 payments to your credit card within a month
       Pinapagod mo raw kasi yong teller nila or yong system nila :)
       Bakit daw hindi ka minsanan lang magbayad? Huh!

44.  ATM cash advance service fee

45.  Over-the-counter cash advance fee

46.  Foreign transaction service fee

47.  Returned check fee

48.  Sales slip retrieval fee

49.  Credit card replacement fee

50.  Installment pretermination fee

Notes:
. Foreign banks usually do not impose maintaining balance requirements for each account. What they use is Total Relationship Balance (TRB), the overall total of the balances of all your bank and investment accounts with them.

. The 50 bank fees above are not the only bank fees charged. There are other bank fees.

You might have seen on TV the woman whose online banking account was hacked and who lost 100,000 pesos to the hacker. The money was easily transferred by the hacker because the woman's online banking system offers the option to Send Money to any local bank account without prior enrollment of the recipient's account.  This option is very helpful to certain business people but can be very risky.

BDO and BPI has certain online banking features that make them safer. This is not to promote these banks; this is just to describe their security features so you can think about what is not safe with your bank's online banking.

BDO Online Banking

1. BDO requires two login steps.
    It's just like opening two locked doors one after the other before you can enter.
   The first step requires your user name and password.
   The second step requires your One-Time Password (OTP) or the correct answer to the Challenge Question.
   You will know your OTP only if you're using the mobile phone no. registered with BDO.

  This means that even if your username and password were hacked, the hacker needs to have your mobile phone SIM to be able to receive the correct OTP code.

2.  The "Send Money to Another Local Bank" service requires you to enter the account owner's complete name, address, mobile phone no. and birth date.

3.  BDO has maximum limits for funds transfer amounts and number of transactions for unenrolled accounts per day.
     For "Send Money to Another Local Bank," the maximum transfer amount is 50,000 pesos.
         To complete the transfer request, you must first enter the sender's complete name, address, mobile phone no. and birth date.
     For "Send Money to Unenrolled BDO Account," the maximum transfer amount is 10,000 pesos.

4.  BDO requires you to change your password every 3 months.

BPI Online Banking

1. BPI notifies you through email immediately after a successful login. 
   Activate this service because this service is optional.
   Activate also your smartphone email notification so you'll be alerted if another person logged in to your account.
   This means that in case another person was able to log in to your account, you can immediately call BPI's hotline to stop the break-in.

2. BPI notifies you through email immediately after a fund transfer or a bill payment.
   Activate your smartphone email notification so you'll be alerted of the transfer or payment.  
 
3. There's no "Transfer Money to an Unenrolled Account" option in BPI online banking on desktop or laptop.
    You cannot transfer money to just any account. You need to enroll first another person's account before you can transfer money to it. Enrollment requires you to appear in person with your IDs at your branch or to send your enrollment form through postal mail to BPI and verify your enrollment over the phone.
 
   This means that in case the hacker is able to get through, the hacker cannot transfer your money to his account or another person's account.
      
4. The "Transfer to Anyone" option is available through BPI's mobile phone banking but it is not automatic. It is optional. You need to activate this option using a BPI atm machine.
    This means you will not have the risk associated with this if you do not want it.

Below-Maintaining-Balance Penalties Incurred by Many Bank Depositors

Penalties for falling below the maintaining balance requirement is the most common concern written about by bank account owners commenting on our blogs.

There have been account owners who have seen their savings reduced by 600 pesos or 900 pesos or 1,200 pesos for failing to see on time that their account balances have fallen below the required balance.

There's even one OFW whose account balance was reduced by 4,500 pesos! That's 300 pesos x 15 months of falling below the required balance. This OFW did not know that the bank account's maintaining balance requirement has increased. Two other OFWs lost 1,800 pesos and 3,500 pesos to this kind of penalty.

What Are the Common Reasons Why Account Owners Suffer This Penalty?

. The account owner does not know there's such a thing as maintaining balance.
. The account owner knows there's a maintaining balance requirement but is not able to maintain the
required balance.
. The account owner knows his maintaining balance requirement but does not know there was an increase in the amount required.***

Why Is There a Maintaining Balance Requirement?
This is to share in the cost of maintaining one's accounts in the banks' systems. Why won't the banks shoulder this cost? Banks will say they are in business to make profits.

In the US, what they have is a bank maintenance fee. Account owners pay a monthly fee to maintain their accounts. If they don't like to pay this fee, then they should maintain a certain balance in their account. It's the same cost concept.

This Is Why Zero-Maintaining Balance Accounts Have Become Popular
As people become familiar with maintaining-balance penalties, banks accounts like the following have become popular:
   BDO Kabayan peso and dollar savings account
   BPI Easy Saver savings account
   Metrobank OFW peso and dollar savings account

   BPInoy savings account
   PNB OFW peso and dollar savings account
   Other banks' OFW saving accounts

Here are Common Bank Account Products, Maintaining Balance Requirements and Below-Maintaining Balance Penalties:

NOTES:

 *  Penalty is imposed at the end of the 2nd consecutive month your account fell below the required maintaining balance

**  OFW accounts have no maintaining balance requirement, but you need to send money from abroad to your account at least once in 12 months.

      After 12 months of no foreign remittance, your account is converted into a regular account, and you'll need to comply with the maintaining-balance requirement.  If you fail to comply, and your account balance is not enough to pay the 300-peso penalty, your account will automatically close.

*** BPI Easy Saver has no maintaining balance requirement, but you pay 5 pesos for every ATM withdrawal and ATM balance inquiry.

****BPInoy Savings Account has no maintaining balance requirement, but you need to send money to your account at least once every 3 months.
