Case in point is Bank of America’s new fees:

Under the new program, consumers who carry low account balances would be subject to a $9 monthly maintenance fee. Meanwhile, those with at least $50,000 in deposits and investments would receive priority customer service and higher interest rates on their savings.

This strategy exemplifies a return to account stratifications that were common in the decades before free banking became the price of entry. The better relationship you had with a bank (i.e., more accounts), the more favorable the terms of your relationship.
