Bank of America to charge debit card users

But  news from the Bank of America yesterday  could change the way people feel about that.

Why are we seeing increased banking charges and what can consumers do about it? We’re speaking with  Louise Story,  Wall Street and finance reporter for our partner,  The New York Times.
