Directions (126-135): Read the passage given below and then answer the questions given below.

Certain words/phrases have been given in bold to help you locate them while answering some of the

questions.

Beginning several years ago - no one really knows when - banks slowly got into the business of

granting short-term, high interest loans to consumers when they attempt to overdraw their

accounts. Account holders are automatically enrolled in the programmes, which are now standard at


26/32

nearly all banks-Why are the programmes, which many people have never heard of, so popular?

Financial institutions that adopt them can expect a huge spike in overdraft revenue - a hike of 200%

to 400%, according to the centre for responsible lending.

Financial institutions collected some $10 billion in 2005 through what’s sometimes called Automatic

Overdraft Protection. These mini-loans are incredibly expensive. Most debit purchases that forceoverdraft loans to kick in are for small purchases, the agency says. The median overdraft loan for a

point-of-sale transaction is $14.75. The average fee is more than double the amount. And since more

consumers pay these loans back within 3-5 days, the annual percentage rate on a courtesy overdraft

loan can be as high as 20000%.

First, let me acknowledge that it’s easy to armchair quarterback, as I know from people saying “you

should have done it that way!!” First, if one of my customers overdrafted, I would charge them the

regular overdraft fee- but I would notify them that if they enrolled in a personal-finance class, the

bank would waive the overdraft fee and once more (make customers think positively about the

future). The classes would be conveniently held at every branch on various weekends and evenings,

and would explain basic concepts of personal finance. At the beginning of the class, I would ask each

customer to fill out a detailed survey of their personal needs. During the class, there wouldn’t be a

transparent sales pitch, but the presenters could mention the services offered by the bank.

Then, two weeks af ter the class, I’d contact the class attended and offer to help them achieve their

goals based on the information they filled out on the survey. May be they need a money-market

account or investment assistance? I’d monitor engagement and try to upset them on something

appropriate for their personal situation. And that’s it- simple on the surface, but understandably

difficult to implement, test, measure.

Banks: You’ll reduce the immediate, short-term fees you get from overdrafts-the ones that causeyour customers to hate you-but you’ll make them happy by educating them and addressing their

personal needs. And because you’re offering to waive their fees and educate them for free, you’re

going to build an incredibly loyal base who will stay your customer. Yes, you’ll lose fees up front. But

sophisticated customers buy more services from trusted sources, so if you take it up through other

services and help your customers achieve their goals- that’s a win-win.
