BofA ponders pricing packages

BANK of America Corp plans to test different pricing packages in a bid to recover some of the US$4.3 billion in revenue it expects to lose from new restrictions on bank and credit card fees, the Financial Times reported yesterday.

The largest US retail bank may create a tiered price system that rewards its best customers for maintaining a minimum current account balance, using credit cards a certain number of times per month, or conducting all banking transactions electronically. Customers who do not adhere to certain rules will be charged a higher fee, the report said.

"We are not guaranteeing that we will recover all of the revenue lost as a result of the new regulations, but over several years we think we will get back a good share," Joe Price, head of BofA's consumer bank, told the paper.

Bank of America could not be reached for comment.
