Hello BOFI, USAA and local credit union.

That's really unfair !

I mean... they have to increase... because of the price of... oil !

;-)

I'm reading right now a very good book : Asian Godfathers.

The author speaks about HSBC, the history of the bank (opium trade) etc... Very interesting. And then, the fact that HSBC was de facto the central bank of Hong Kong, with the privilege to print bills... And enjoyed many other monopolistic sources of thick revenues...

Plus their recent history of profits (HSBC is one of the most profitable banks in the woooooooooooorld).

So, yes indeed, now I understand the hike for ATM cards. :o It makes perfectly sense.

Disclaimer : I am a customer of HSBC... :D
