Those Friendly Banks

So I’m listening to the radio as I tool around town.

Chase Bank has a new prepaid debit card they are offering – the Chase Liquid.
The announcer is all breathless because you won’t get socked with ANY extra fees – all you pay is one low monthly fee – which I later investigate and find to be $4.95. Keep in mind you can load as little as $25 on it – at least they’re keeping fees under 20% a month!

It’s a full one minute spot, and I swear that at least 30 seconds are devoted to a reiteration that other fees are despicable and unnecessary and highly frowned upon.

And at the end … the fast-talking fine-print guy adds, “Other fees may apply.”

Aintcha glad those Big Banks are looking out for us?
