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

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 whats sometimes called Automatic
Overdraft Protection. These mini-loans are incredibly expensive. Most debit purchases that force
overdraft 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 its 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 wouldnt be a
transparent sales pitch, but the presenters could mention the services offered by the bank.
Then, two weeks after the class, Id 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? Id monitor engagement and try to upset them on something
appropriate for their personal situation. And thats it- simple on the surface, but understandably
difficult to implement, test, measure.
Banks: Youll reduce the immediate, short-term fees you get from overdrafts-the ones that cause
your customers to hate you-but youll make them happy by educating them and addressing their
personal needs. And because youre offering to waive their fees and educate them for free, youre
going to build an incredibly loyal base who will stay your customer. Yes, youll 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- thats a win-win.
