Taking on the banks, $5 at a time: Clinton, Sanders target ATM fees

“Can you at least just get back from them the $3 they charge us to take $20 out of an ATM machine,” Colbert said, drawing laughs from the audience.

“You know what, we need to go after that too, don’t you think, yeah, yeah, it’s usurious,” Clinton replied.

Yahoo News contacted several Clinton campaign aides, none of whom expressed familiarity with the comment, making it clear that it was off-the-cuff. And her economic plan does not call for any specific steps to tamp down the ATM fees that consumers pay when they complete a transaction at an out-of-network machine.

The idea would, however, line Clinton up neatly with her closest rival, self-described Democratic Socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont. Sanders has been battling banks on that turf for decades in speeches and legislation dating back to his days in the House of Representatives.

“Sen. Sanders has been fighting against sky-high ATM fees since 1996,” his policy director, Warren Gunnels, told Yahoo News by email. “As president, Sen. Sanders would make it a priority to stop big banks from charging these outrageous fees.”
