I don't understand why I am charged debit card fees. I use my debit card for payments and purchases, but every time I do, there seems to be some kind of fee associated with it. I want to know the reason behind these charges.

For instance, some banks impose a fee if you choose to enter your PIN (Personal Identification Number) during a transaction, opting for this method instead of signing your name as a form of verification. This practice, though convenient, can lead to unexpected charges.

Another common scenario where debit card fees may arise is when you overdraw your account using the card. Similar to the consequences of "bouncing" a check, overdrawing your account can trigger penalty fees, which can be costly and inconvenient.

To avoid these unnecessary expenses, it's crucial to stay informed about your bank's policies regarding debit card usage. This includes being aware of any fees associated with PIN transactions, overdrafts, and other potential charges.

Additionally, maintaining a close eye on your account balance can help prevent overdrafts and the associated fees. Regularly checking your account activity and setting up alerts for low balances can be effective strategies for staying on top of your finances.
