How To Eliminate Union Bank Debit Card Fees

Nobody likes paying extra fees, including . In addition to charges such as overdraft fees, ATM fees, and transfer fees, Union Bank's debit card fees often catch us by surprise, making us wonder why banks charge so much for simple services.

With the average American household spending $290/year on bank fees, it's clear something must be done. DoNotPay has a product to make your next step in fighting debit card fees quick, painless, and effective.

Understanding Bank Debit Card Fees

Before you can fight your debit card fees from , you'll want a bit of background.

How Debit Card Fees Work

While there are some transactions that are exempt, debit cardholders are paying fees on most transactions. These are generally "debit network fees" that cover the costs of the transaction being routed through official systems. While banks will automatically waive some of these fees, touting their debit cards as "free," they don't waive all of them.

The average interchange fee as a percentage of the average transaction value was 0.57%, with an average fee of $0.23. For exempt transactions, the numbers were 1.16% and $0.44, respectively. These averages include both signature and PIN transaction costs. (Merchant Maverick)

While most debit card fees are regulated to keep them under control, that doesn't mean they seem fair or that any of us enjoy paying them. That includes the debit card fees charged at Union Bank.

How Union Bank Handles Debit Card Fees

While Union Bank does offer "free" Union Bank ATM and Debit Card services, there is a catch. Naturally, this catch has a fee attached.

Use your Union Bank ATM or debit card at Union Bank ATMs for deposits, withdrawals, and transfers between linked Union Bank accounts. Fees may apply to use your Union Bank ATM or debit card at non-Union Bank ATMs or to obtain an ATM mini-statement. (Union Bank)

Did you catch that? In order for your ATM debit card deposits, withdrawals, and transfers to be "free," you must use linked Union Bank accounts and ATMs.

While this might sound like a simple rule to follow, there will come a time in everyone's life when it just makes sense to use an out-of-network ATM.

  1. You're on vacation and can't find a Union Bank ATM.
  2. You're faced with an emergency situation and have to use the closest ATM.
  3. You travel for work and can't be bothered to search out a Union Bank ATM every time you need cash.

In situations such as these, using an out-of-network ATM with your debit card will lead you to accrue fees. If you do this a few times a month (even a few times a year), you'll soon find your fines and fees adding up to what feels like an unreasonable amount.

If that's the case, we have good news. DoNotPay can help you solve this problem fast.
