Citibank Feasts on the Plasma of the Poor:

I have been a donor at CSL plasma here in Minneapolis for around 6 months. Monetary compensation was initially dispensed from an on-site cash machine. Unfortunately, this system has been replaced by a Citibank debit card on which the compensation is added to your card electronically. But, here is the corporate vampire Citibank has put its fangs into the blood of the poor. Here is a partial schedule of fees from the Citibank Prepaid Services handout that Citibank charges for using their card. There is no option to opt out of this program!

ATM Withdrawal fee...........................................$1.50 per withdrawal

PIN Point-of Sale (POS) Transaction......................$0.50

Signature Point-of Sale (POS) Transaction..............$0.25 (one free per donation)

Plastic Replacement Fee (if applicable)...................$6.95 per incident (First free)

Account Inactivity Fee (if applicable)......................$3.00 per month
