expanded to the personal account level where checks can be scanned and deposited via web connection by taking a picture with a mobile phone or using a check scanner.
• The remote deposit service and mobile banking are generally free with certain deposit limitations, such as total daily and monthly deposit limits, to reduce incidence of check fraud and liability.

How much is the FDIC actually costing you?
What are ways to push cheaper payment alternatives and is it worth it?
Earnings Credit Rates have been traditionally tied to LIBOR or T-Bill. The current environment gives banks more flexibility to set rates based on other factors, and therefore rates vary greatly
across institutions.
Negotiate Rates

“ECR rates of 0.35% and 0.50% were more prevalent if total service charges were above rather than below the median level.” (Phoenix Hecht Executive Summary)
Earnings credit rates are tiering backwards based on balances. Higher the balance, the lower the rate.

FDIC Rates – Grand Prize Winner
The FDIC has no official position on if or how a bank chooses to pass along its insurance premiums.
I think the greatest resource at the moment is to convince customers that these fees imposed by their banks are negotiable and should be a point of discussion with their depository institution.

Benefits of a Detailed Review of Fees
DDA Statement Mailed: Four accounts are set up with this service, at a rate of $25 per account ($100 per month). Bank should ensure that all 13 accounts in the group are set up with “DDA Statement -Internet," which provides the statements online with a $0 charge; currently 10 accounts are set up with this.
Acct Maint Services: The math on the analysis is wrong. Comp X is being charged $15 with a volume of 2 - the total charge should be $30. The analysis reflects a $40 charge. This extra $10 needs to be credited, and the go-forward rate should remain at $15.
Wire Transfer Advice- Mail: This service should be eliminated unless there is a need for some % of wires to have paper confirmations mailed.
Returns - Alternative Address Services: This is a new service; we need Bank to define what this is.
General Checks Paid - Not Truncated: One account has been setup to "not truncate" checks that are paid – (acct ending in XXX). This is the only account set up this way. It should be modified to truncate all paid checks, similar to all other accounts in the group.

When a bank changes a price or adds a new charge, they are required to notify you in two different ways.
Cash Letter Charges
Online banking wire approvals – Mobile Maintenance and Per User fees.
Pos Pay Reject Notification (without image) - Customers pay more if they want an image of the rejected item.
Advices!
UPIC (Universal Payment Identifier Code)- shadow code that enables posting of credit payments to a bank account without having to give the vendor your bank instructions (routing, account#, etc) as a means of fraud prevention.

Image Clearing - IRD Creation
When Bank receives images from you via Image Cash Letter or Remote Deposit, they can many times send those images directly to the receiving bank for settlement of funds. Some
banks, however, cannot receive images to settle funds and your bank has to create an
Image Replacement Document, and (in essence) send them paper to facilitate the
settlement of that deposit.
Instead of charging the bank who cannot accommodate Images – YOU are charged.
Grand Prize
There is a disconnect within companies between people generating reports, people performing different functions through an online banking platform, and the people in charge of billing.
