New law declares open season on bank records Foreign checks can mean long wait for funds
Bad check fees: He messes up, you pay -- It's sort of the ultimate insult added to injury. Somebody gives you a bad check, and you get nailed for a fee. Wal-Mart vs. Visa: Battle spills into the aisles --- The retailer is the biggest company banning some Visa debit cards in a fee dispute -- and consumers might pay the price. Debit cards hit with currency conversion charges --- An ATM/debit card is a great way to get cash while traveling, but convenience has a price. CGiant cardboard check, please -- A check doesn't necessarily have to be written on paper. You could cash a check written on the back of a shirt or an oversized one from Ed McMahon. Changing checks: Drafts go electronic -- The next check you write might be deducted from your account as fast as an ATM withdrawal. Cheap checks, cool checks -- If you're buying checks directly from your bank, you're paying too much -- and missing out on all of the fun! | ||||
