Unless you pay upfront for the service rather than having a free bank account.

If your economical model is to take advantage of people going overdraft you can be certain the bank won't try to help clients. If the bank can make more money by having clients with more money that would probably work better, now I'm not sure how that would scale.

Banks does make a lot of money if the customer spends his money or stores his money using the services of the bank.

Except didn't they charge the same ridiculous fees even when the accounts were not free?
