Democratic Senators Elizabeth Warren and Chris Van Hollen have criticized JPMorgan Chase's potential plans to impose new fees on checking accounts for its 80 million customers, describing such moves as 'outrageous'. These comments follow remarks from Chase executives indicating that increased fees might be necessary to offset lost revenue from proposed federal regulations limiting overdraft fees. Warren and Van Hollen are urging CEO Jamie Dimon to reconsider these plans, especially given the bank's record profits and the burden that new fees would place on low- and middle-income customers. The senators have also requested transparency regarding the specific fees being considered and the bank's current collection of overdraft fees, which amounted to $1.1 billion last year. They argue that instead of raising fees, the bank should explore alternatives to maintain profitability without harming consumers. Critics are concerned that such fee increases would disproportionately affect those who can least afford it, highlighting the need for consumer protections in the banking sector.
