Bank of America targeting low income customers by eliminating it's free checking account program

Call Bank of America out for eliminating free checking and increasing fees for clients to $12 monthly unless the customer has a direct deposit of $250 or more or a minimum balance of $1500.

Why is this important?

"Beginning this month, all eBanking customers will face a $12 monthly fee unless the customer has a direct deposit of $250 or more or a minimum balance of $1,500. The process of switching over Bank of America customers to this service began as early as 2015. The bank does have a checking account geared towards low-income customers that charges only a $4.95 monthly fee, but it doesn't allow customers to write paper checks, a financial necessity in the lives of some individuals." -ThinkProgress
