Yesterday, big bank CEOs testified before the Senate Banking Committee. They came in prepared to talk about how they stepped up during the pandemic and took care of customers.

I called their act for what it is: a bunch of baloney. In fact, it was $4 billion worth of baloney.

And here’s why: During the pandemic, federal regulators waived overdraft fees for all the big banks — and encouraged them to pass that help along to their customers. But instead of providing relief for struggling account holders, the big banks charged about $4 billion in overdraft fees in 2020.

So, if someone was laid off during COVID-19 and bounced a check, the big banks often tacked on a charge every time they stumbled — another punch in the gut to working people. Those fees disproportionately affected low-income and minority account holders.

I’m fighting to hold big banks accountable and crack down on abusive overdraft practices. But I can’t do it alone.

Warren Democrats is working every day to elect progressive leaders who aren’t afraid to call Wall Street CEOs out on their baloney. And right now, we’re quickly approaching our end-of-month fundraising deadline.

If you’re able to, can you chip in $3 or whatever makes sense right now to help hit our goal and make sure we can keep up the fight?
