A credit union I used to belong, had a piece of paper hanging on the wall right next to the tellers, it had their running income monthly from overdraft fees.

Before the 2008 real estate collapse, this number was less than $100,000 per month.

During the recession, I noted it was going as high as $600,000 per month. At one location in Sunnyvale Ca.

I don't doubt you, since you saw this first-hand and didn't hear it from your friend's cousin's dog. But what purpose could a sign like that serve for tellers?

It wasnt for the tellers, it was literally for the banking customers.

It was the statement of revenue the credit union had - the overdraft section was a single line on the document... I am uncertain as to why they posted it, aside from a "transperency" for the credit union members...
