What are junk fees?

Junk fees are hidden and unexpected charges that are often not included in the initial or listed price of a transaction but are added on at the time of the payment.


The Biden White House claims this practice typically falls into four categories:




  • "Mandatory fees" that obscure the full price charged by a seller, such as the service fees added to a concert ticket
  • "Surprise fees" that consumers do not expect, such as the family seating fees charged by airlines
  • "Predatory fees" that target consumers who are economically vulnerable or locked into a service, such as excessive bank overdraft fees
  • "Fraudulent fees" that represent an outright misrepresentation by a seller, such as "no fee" bank accounts that make hidden charges in practice





At least 85% of Americans have encountered such fees, according to a 2019 survey by Consumer Reports, and they can drive up costs far beyond what a consumer had expected to pay.




The White House has said these fee schemes disproportionately affect low-income households and people of colour, and harm small and medium-sized businesses.
