1. Bank online. Thanks to modern technology, many banks allow its customers to transact online and doing so is typically free. Online banking allows you to receive bank updates and notifications, and even check you savings account balance. Some may even let you pay your bills or transfer funds online.
2. As much as possible, use your own bank’s ATM. If it’s not for real emergencies or if you’re totally out of cash, just wait until you are near one of your bank’s ATMs. Performing transactions such as balance inquiry and withdrawals using a different bank’s ATM will just make you lose some bucks.
3. Pay bills online. Instead of going to a physical payment facility to pay your bills, why not just pay online? Aside from ensuring that you pay on time (since you don’t have to spare time to go out), you can just save transportation expense for more important things while staying comfortable in your office or home.
4. Change your spending habits. Well this is practically the best tip you can get in general, not just on saving on banking fees. With a simpler lifestyle, you can save on just about everything, and you won’t have to exploit your bank’s services.
