Good for them.

Citibank and the other card companies skim 2%-5% of charges. They make more profit on most transactions than Walmart does.

If they can cut out the skim, they can lower prices, which is how they became number one in the first place.

Will they have to lend money under Community Re-investment Act of 1977 requirements that’ll cause it to eventually go under?

The banking industry has prevented the rise of low cost banking alternatives... because that’s where the money is at.

Walmart is poised to change all that and competition is good for consumers in the form of better service, lower fees and convenience to bank right where they shop.

And that is a good fit for Walmart.

Sounds legit. What could possibly go wrong?

"no fees for overdrafts or bounced checks and no minimum account balance."

What could possibly go wrong with this?

Too late. I have already successfully hidden my entire financial empire from the government by using my Starbuck's card for banking. When the sweet young thang behind the counter says, "Here's your latte, Mr. Drill, you have a balance of $350,476,892.23, would you like a receipt?" the rafters ring with my fiendish laughter.

There are problems, to be sure. It's tough to make car payments with those nasty little microwave croissant sandwiches. But it wasn't easy for Carnegie or Rockefeller, either.

Imagine if WalMart got in to the medical care business. The system could use a little free market.
