What has the City spent on Bank Service Fees?
$31.4M across 1,972 payments, July 24, 2017 to September 4, 2026 — 60 purchase orders and 9 vendors, run by Finance.
As published: BANK SERVICE FEES
This budget line has run for 10 fiscal years across 60 separate purchase orders. A single payment in the register shows none of that — the commitment outlives any one order, and the orders are how it gets renewed.
