Bill Summary

Relative to fees for certain inactive bank accounts. Financial Services.

AI Summary

This bill amends Section 5 of Chapter 167D of the General Laws to allow banks to charge fees for inactive bank accounts. The existing law prohibited banks from charging certain fees, such as maintenance or service fees, on deposit accounts. This bill adds an exception to allow banks to charge fees specifically for inactive accounts, which are accounts that have had no customer-initiated activity for a certain period of time. This change gives banks more flexibility in managing inactive accounts while still preserving protections for active accounts.
