Canada has set a new $10 cap on non-sufficient funds (NSF) fees, a change expected to save consumers more than $600 million annually. The policy is a modest positive for households and a likely negative for bank fee revenue, particularly at major lenders such as BMO. The news is regulatory in nature and could affect banking industry economics, but it is unlikely to materially move the broader market.
