IDK what banks you've used, but all the banks I've used the fee proportionality is regressive.
I also don't agree that the most prudent and responsible banks bailing out disproportionately depositors at failed banks is beneficial for them or their depositors. It also creates a moral hazard for customers to chase banks with the highest yield risk profile knowing they'll be bailed out by the other actors.

- notch898a 4y agoThe bank doesn't have to pass fees down using the same algorithm with which they were assessed, and they usually don't. The small guy gets fucked with regressive fee structure. >people seeing a bank fail will worry that their own bank could fai I feel more confident in my bank as it is compared to my bank minus a "special assessment" to backstop depositors at irresponsible banks.
