Some banks and banking trade groups are suing the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau over a finalized rule that limits overdraft fees banks can charge.
The rule is part of President Joe Biden administration’s campaign to reduce junk fees that hit consumers on everyday purchases, including banking services.
But banks argue that without overdraft protection, desperate consumers will instead lean on worse, unregulated services to ease their crunch.
Under the finalized rule from the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau that was announced on Thursday, banks will be able to choose from three options: they may charge a flat overdraft fee of $5, they may charge a fee that covers their costs and losses, or they may charge any fee so long as they disclose the terms of the overdraft loan the way they would for any other loan, typically expressed as an annual percentage rate, or APR.
While banks have cut back on overdraft fees in the past decade, the nation’s biggest banks still take in roughly $8 billion in the charges every year, according to data from the CFPB and bank public records.
MIAMI — So who is Bernie Lee, the agent for Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler, the representative who has put himself at the forefront of recent trade speculation fostered by ESPN regarding his client’s future?
More than anything, he’s a passionate (sometimes overly passionate) defender of his clients and a presence with a high visibility around the franchise for decades, dating to the his representation of guard Mike James, who emerged from an undrafted walk-on with the Heat in 2001 and went on to an NBA career that lasted more than a decade.
Amid conjecture about Butler’s future, conjecture that largely had been dormant until a report earlier this week by ESPN’s Shams Charania, Lee took to social media this week to debunk reporting of actively seeking potential landing spots for his client, who has the right to opt out of the final year of his Heat contract this offseason.
In the wake of that back and forth on social media, an amused Butler interjected his thoughts following Thursday night’s 114-104 victory over the Toronto Raptors.
“I love it,” Butler said when asked about Lee’s pointed rebuttals, where the agent disliked his name popping up in the conjecture about Butler’s future.
