Let's calculate the bank fees for both you and your friend.
**For you (Bank A):**
- Monthly service fee: $12
- Out-of-network ATM withdrawal fee: $2 per withdrawal
- Total ATM withdrawals: 14
Since you made 14 withdrawals:
- Total withdrawal fees = 14 withdrawals * $2 = $28
- Because your withdrawals exceed $12, the $12 monthly service fee is waived.
**Total fees paid to Bank A:**
- Withdrawal fees: $28
- Monthly service fee: $0
- **Total = $28**
---
**For your friend (Bank B):**
- Monthly service fee: $20
- Free ATM withdrawals: 10, after which a $5 fee is incurred.
Your friend made 22 withdrawals:
- Free withdrawals: 10
- Paid withdrawals: 22 - 10 = 12
- Since the first 10 withdrawals are free, the fee for 12 additional withdrawals incurs a one-time fee of $5.
**Total fees paid to Bank B:**
- Monthly service fee: $20
- Additional withdrawal fee: $5
- **Total = $20 + $5 = $25**
---
Now, comparing the bank fees:
- You paid $28 in bank fees.
- Your friend paid $25 in bank fees.
