RE: Are Fees Too High?

Why?
Because banks are already taking a lot of money from their users.
Monthly bank account maintenance fee, yearly credit card fee, and so on.
Depending on the banks and on their services, some banks are taking fees even on deposits and on withdrawals.
I think that the transfers (especially transfers between the same bank) should not have any fees.
Just like on the Steem blockchain. There are no transaction fees.
You can send as low as 0.001 Steem or $0.001 SBD to other Steem accounts.
I understand that the banks, their owners, shareholders also have to eat, of course, have to make incomes, but look around. They are millionaires/billionaires - mostly because of the above mentioned money cut, plus they are providing money lending services (usually with huge interest rates and fees) -, while most of the bank account owners are poor.
The rich gets richer, while the poor gets poorer.
There are a few millionaire/billionaire people, but many people are poor.
Some (many) people are literally starving.
There should be some (better) balance in my opinion.
