Well, it used to be the case that banks made sufficient profit by lending at interest. The definition of "sufficient" has changed in the last 20 years, and banks have instituted a raft of fees on depositors for the privilege of accessing their own money. My personal fave is a fee imposed (and later removed) by a local bank for using a teller instead of an ATM.
That said, I don't complain about ATM fees. If a bank wants to charge me an ATM fee, I find another bank.
