For example, early next year, Chase plans to stop allowing overdrafts and assessing a fee unless account users have agreed to the service. Banks stand to earn a record <STRONG>$38.5 billion in overdraft fees</STRONG> by the end of 2009, so some worry that restrictions could curtail the banking industry's recovery. Bair also proposes that <STRONG>overdrafts be treated as loans</STRONG>.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/006C052B-F6B9-4BB9-8B41-0BB6EC0A186E/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
