Share draft accounts are a traditional source of fee income for financial institutions. In fact, some institutions have reported as much as half of their income as having been “earned” through fees.  At Knoxville Teachers Federal Credit Union, the thinking is that “fees” is a four-letter word and should be avoided unless a direct cost to the credit union has been caused by a member.  In fact, KTFCU annually takes in less than 1/10th of 1% of its total income through fees.  To see the exact source of our fee income, take a look at our fee schedule below.
