By Pablo Diaz · I left BoA after years as a customer. Read the full story →

Most TX business owners I talk to do not know the full BoA fee structure until they have already paid it. The schedule below is from BoA's own published fee disclosures, plus the public CFPB record on practices that have been the subject of enforcement.

Overdraft fees and the CFPB 2023 order

Bank of America overdraft fees were the subject of the 2023 CFPB enforcement order, which cited Bank of America for double-charging overdraft fees and ordered $250M total in penalties and restitution. The current BoA overdraft schedule is published on their fee disclosure page. For a Georgetown business, the practical takeaway is twofold: (1) verify your current overdraft posture matches what BoA represents, and (2) if you have historical overdraft charges that look stacked, file a CFPB complaint with documentation.
