A Sharon wants to open a checking account from which to pay bills. She wants online services, and a debit card,
which both banks provide for free. Based upon past experience, she expects to accidentally overdraft the account
1 time per year, due to unexpected charges and miscommunications. She expects no 2nd coples of statements,
and to use network ATMs 4 times per month with either bank. She has $3300 in an emergency savings account at
First State Bank, and thinks that the balance will be enough to cover overdrafts in the future if automatic transfers
are made when needed.
