Basic financial service fees

🎯 Goal: Understand many services charge fees (out-of-network ATM, fast transfer, card maintenance); small fees add up.
Some services charge a fee: out-of-network ATM withdrawals, fast transfers, annual card fees. Small fees add up over time.

Let’s explore

Out-of-network ATM withdrawals usually cost a fee each time.
🧮
A 3,000d fee × 10 times/month = 30,000d — small but adds up.
