Bank Fees vs. Our Fees

On August 15, 2011 The Cleveland Plain Dealer ran an article by Teresa Dixon Murray titled, "Fees Rise At Cleveland-area Banks."
The article states, "A year after having a cap put on their overdraft charges, banks look toward other fees to make up the difference."
Click here to read the entire article.
First of all, Eaton Family Credit Union does not charge to take in rolled coin. We do ask our owner/members to let us know if they're bringing in a whole bunch. Secondly, there is a 2% fee to deposit loose coin at our Euclid office and other fees for cash or for non-members. Lastly, regarding fees, click here for our complete fee schedule (also listed under Disclosures on our website).
Here are our fees for the information in the PD chart
  • Overdraft = $25
  • Cashier's Check = $2
  • Other bank's ATM = $0 for the first 8 transactions with $1,000 savings or direct deposit then $2 per transaction thereafter
  • Stop Payment = $25
  • Wire Transfer = $17
  • Lost ATM Card = $0 for the first then $15 thereafter
  • Returned Deposit = $15

The test measures participants’ knowledge as it pertains to earning, saving, and growing their money.   As of 2020, the average score of 15- to 18-year-olds who took the test stood at 68 percent, just shy of a passing score. In fact, of the 60,813 people who have taken the test since it began in 2015, only 59 percent received a passing score of 70 percent or higher. Additionally, the National Financial Educators Council also released results that found that poor financial literacy contributed to Americans losing an average of $1,634 each in 2020. That is a cost of about $415 billion to the country at large.   Those numbers may seem a tad apocalyptic, but there is a silver lining. Younger generations of Americans appear willing and able to learn more about financial literacy. The National Financial Educ
