Is it legal to charge a debit card fee?


Is it legal to charge a debit card fee? You can't charge a fee if a customer pays with a debit card — or cash, for that matter. That's why you'll often see gas stations advertise one price for credit card payments and a “cash discount” for paying with cash or a credit card.


What happens if a bank accidentally gives you money and you spend it?

If you spend the money from a bank error in your favor, move it to another account, invest it, or give it away, you could wind up in a lot of hot water. Failing to return the money may be tantamount to theft, and you could face criminal charges, such as theft of property lost by mistake or receiving stolen property.
