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 Waco 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.
