She Fought the Bank (And She Won)

The Takeaway

Earlier this morning, The Takeaway reported on Bank of America’s reversal on its plan to charge customers a $5 monthly fee for using debit cards. Public outrage coupled with over 300,000 signatures to a Change.org petition calling for Bank of America to drop the fee led to the reversal. Molly Katchpole, the woman who spearheaded the public effort to get B of A to reverse their position, talks about her victory.
