Chase triggered a $15 minimum balance fee for a single day below the new threshold for a customer with over $11,000 average daily balance and 40 years of tenure.

Customers receive inconsistent answers across multiple support contacts. The disconnect between payment scheduling systems and customer financial reality creates preventable defaults.

The gap between creditworthiness and credit model output creates a systemic underservice of a growing demographic.
