Banks allow ads in online checking accounts | washingtonpost.com

Ylan Q. Mui writes, “As banks test new ways to make money and attract customers, they are tucking ads into the list of recent purchases on consumers’ online bank statements. The charge for your breakfast at McDonald’s, for example, might be followed with an offer for 10 percent cash back on your next meal at the Golden Arches. There’s no need to print a coupon — just click the link, and the chain will recognize your debit card the next time it is swiped.”
