Capital One customers who are enrolled in overdraft services will be automatically converted to no-fee overdraft when the program launches in early 2022, the bank said in its statement. Customers who aren’t enrolled can enroll at any time, it said, adding, “For customers not enrolled, transactions that would overdraw an account will be declined and no fees will be assessed.” Capital One currently charges customers a $35 overdraft fee if they’re enrolled in its next day grace program. Under current rules, customers could be charged a fee up to four times a day for overdrawing their accounts by more than $5.
