bank fee

Financial service charge

A bank fee is a charge imposed by a bank for services or account maintenance.

Common examples include overdraft fees, ATM fees, monthly service fees, and wire transfer fees.

Banks generate significant revenue from fees, and customers often don't notice them until they accumulate: I switched banks to avoid all those bank fees.
