"Overdraft Fees" Exceeds "Free Checking" in Consumer Top Of Mind

Overdraft fees are now a bigger concern to the checking marketplace than free checking.  As the Pew Study shows, 70% of consumers report they are “very concerned” about overdraft fees, even if they do not ever overdraw their account.
