So I guess instead of a fee you could say you paid $2 interest on a $20 loan. That'* 10%. Assuming you ran low on funds mid week then the length of the loan would be 3 days. If I'm doing my math correctly that works out to an annual percentage rate of about 1,200%. Ouch!

IMO if there was a way to remove that feature from your account, I would do so. It seems since you know its there to use, you take full opportunity to do so.
This is just another way the banks try to nickel and dime you form your money.
I usually have no money when I get paid, but I have to wait to get paid to spend it, and unfortunately, most of it goes to bills :(

I've never had any issues with TCF that I didn't cause.. And since he ain't in the Midwest, i doubt TCF will be an issue for him...
But, on topic, those little niceties are an easy way for the bank to keep a little of your money each month. They got some smart people coming up with those ideas, knowin that a lot of us will use them.
