That instant transfer fee caught me off guard

I sent $200 to my landlord through Zelle yesterday and got hit with a $10 fee for instant transfer. I thought instant transfer was included with my account tier. Has anyone else gotten surprised by these fees popping up?

And same here, I was so annoyed when that $10 popped up out of nowhere. I thought my "premium" checking covered everything but nope, apparently instant transfers are extra even with the higher tier. It's like they add fees just to see if you're paying attention.

@emma_clark exactly, it's like they know exactly when to hit you with that stuff. I swear my bank must have a department dedicated to finding new ways to charge me for things I thought were already included. Premium checking, basic checking, whatever tier you're on, they always find a loophole. Makes me wonder if I should just go back to hiding cash in a mattress at this point.
