some traders with a lot of money in the market because of low volume could change things very dramatically. watch out for that. liz: happy new career to our jewish friends. "the willis report" is next. gerri: i'm gerri willis. coming up today on the show, should your iphone do this? the flexibility just one of the many problems facing apple tonight. we'll have the latest. also the biggest soda makers promising to cut calories as the nanny state targets the pop industry. you heard reporters and economists talking about the economic recovery but are you feeling recovered? is it all real? "the willis report" where consumers are our business starts right now. gerri: the world's biggest retailer, wants to be your bank. walmart, partnering with green dot to offer consumers mobile checking accounts with a debit card. and there will be no overdraft niece or minimum balance

requirements. with more on this, greg mcbride, chief financial analyst of bankrate.com. great to have you here, greg. let's start with how these accounts would work because the last thing i checked out, walmart is not allowed to be a bank and here they are offering checking accounts. explain. >> well, gerri, you're right, they have wanted to get into banking for a long time. they actually pursued a bank charter at one point and kind of gave up the fight on that but what they are in this arrangement, they're basically retail outthrough which this is offered this is product that belongs to green dot bank which is fdic insured bank. so the money that you have is federally protected but walmart is just going to be the retail outlet through which this offered. i think primary appeal being no overdraft. that is a selling point to anybody. gerri: no overdraft fees. >> overdrafts are a habit. gerri: go right ahead, sorry. >> i think anybody that, you

know, had a history of overdrafts, you know, which is, about one in seven checking account holders tends to overdraw the account more than once a year, there are a lot of customers that are unbanked, that are underbanked. people don't want or can't get a checking account at a traditional bank or credit union because of those previous overdrafts, i think those are your candidates for this product offering. gerri: you have packed a lot in there. let's unpack a lot of that and really take a look at this. what we'll do, a mobile checking account linked to a debit card. so you get a debit card. you can load cash at stores or deposit them by taking photos with smartphones. so it has got that element too. what is interesting, and we used some of your numbers, bank rate numbers here to create this screen. let's look at fees. so it is called go bank. that is the new bank being offered by walmart, versus traditional banks. overdraft fee, none. at go bank. traditional is almost $34. 32.20, depending what bank

you're looking at. balance requirement, zero. traditional, 668. out of network atm fees? also lower than traditional banks. now, greg, you and i were talking in the break before th e a marginal play at best. but i see some competition on the horizon for some of these big banks that charge the big fees. >> well, look, if your goal is to reduce fees, there are ways to do it without going this route. there are still free checking accounts at smaller community banks, credit unions and online banks and even more so, if you do the direct deposit which you have to do on this account to avoid monthly fee. if you don't have that, aren't able to meet the direct deposits requirement but still looking to get away from overdrafts, there are prepaid cards with better price point than this one. look, this is a step. i think we're going to see more. at this point it is not something that will be poaching

best customers away from banks by any means. there is definitely a market for this. this is just a market a lot of banks pushed out the doors over the years. gerri: monthly checking fee if you're not putting 500 bucks in the account is 8.95. there is $2.95 charge for opening account to start with. that is low to me and amenable most people who want to open this account. what we're really talking about i believe, what people call the unbanked, people who don't have checking or savings account depending who you talk to, that could be 10 million people, that could be 24 million people and these are folks that have largely turned their backs on the banking system. and as a result they have no protections but this will offer those folks, they're going to have fdic insurance. if this thing goes belly-up they will be made whole by the government. i think that's a good thing. >> well, you're absolutely right, gerri. let's look at the big picture. long term, if you will build wealth or achieve any measure of

financial security you have to be part of the banking system. this is going to be that entry point or reentry point for a lot of people and that is a good thing. gerri: so they will have, they already have check cashing, money wiring, bill payment. this will be, this will be checks. now here is my only concern about this. green dot is their partner and you know, once you get past today's headlines and start doing a google search on this company you realize there are lots of issues with green dot. tell us what the problems have been? it looks like bad guys have used green dots for their nefarious purposes. >> i'm not aware of that. you know, i mean i think that, you know, look, they have, their specialty has been type of mobile, type accounts, prepaid cards, things geared toward unbanked an underbanked population. >> the problem that these prepaid cards they have have been used by criminals. what they do, they call people.

ask people to send them money by green dot. because some folks in this category tend to be financially underduress they comply. this is not green dot doing this. this is criminals out there using their network, using their system. so, my question to you, if they are a prepaid card specialist, is this a partner that walmart should have? >> well, these two are not strangers to each other. they have had other product offerings. they have had involvements in the past this is something they are working toward. i'm not sure this is even the endgame. i wouldn't be surprised if we see more producted and services role out together next couple years particularly if this thing works. gerri: i think it will be big, big, big. not only get to you buy your groceries and clothing back to school, you will be banking there full time. great stuff, greg. thanks for coming on tonight. >> thank you, gerry. gerri: now we want to know what you think.

here is our question tonight, would you bank at walmart? log on to gerriwillis.com. vote on the right-hand side of the screen. i will share the results at the end of tonight's show. we've been talking iphone 6 all week, right? after all the hype, people waiting in line for days, reports coming out from users that the phone bends, it bends if you carry it in your pants pocket which i'm sure a lot of people will do. one tech blogger sacrificed his phone in the name of science to show us what happens. >> i'm going to bend this iphone 6 plus to see how much force it actually takes to make this thing unusable or, essentially bent in such a fashion that you would be pissed off as the owner of one of these devices. ♪ so there you have it, guys. unfortunate, but under the pressure of my hand, it does bend quite significantly.

gerri: all right. here with more, the cofounder of the digital advertising company undertone. welcome back to the show. >> thanks, gerri. gerri: that is just not good. you guys are always carrying these things in your pockets, right? >> we are, yeah. typically folks will carry their phones either in the front pocket or back pocket. with these newer phones, they're thinner, cover larger surface area. there are more pressure points. people say they're prone to bending. >> what will apple do about it? seems to me if they're bending it will break. >> couple things. you're right, either it bend or breaks. it has only been out couple of days. there have been a couple isolated reports from consumers, hey, i took a long car trip and bent down and saw it bent afterwards. apple hasn't said anything that they need to find out if the passive use is issue. it is piece of aluminum. gerri: laws of physics. >> apple as good as they are, they're not immune to laws of

physics. if you bend it with enough force but the question is is it flawed from hardware perspective. >> gerri: consumers buying this thing what should they do if they found out if they bent air iphone? will they make them good or phone? >> apple has a history, flaw in the product of their fault. they have a history making good. the iphone 4 had a antenna problem, hold the phone up to the ear. this is the iphone 6 plus. if you hold up the phone to your ear it would cut out. antenna was wrong. so they issued a free bumper to everyone with iphone 4. i had one. i'm sure you had one as well. if this is issue i anticipate them doing some type of program. we don't know if this is issue. my advice, treat it with respect. gerri: i think it is obvious this is issue. listen from a fellow same thing. yesterday he left 10:00 a.m. with the iphone in my front pocket. drove four hours. the 6 plus was 18 hours in the

pocket. saw the reflection window of iphone slightly distorted. a lot of people are finding this issue, finding this problem. then tonight, news that the company is yanking its ios 8 update. so this is the operating system for the iphone 6, iphone 6 plus. they're saying they are having problems wit. what happened? >> so, the iphone, the ios 8 update came out and it's a little bit buggy. apps are prone to crashing far more than previous operating system. there are issues with the keyboard. i experienced a little bit myself. they put out an update and yanked it right off because it wasn't ready. from my perspective. software issues can be fixed. maybe they did it quickly because there are so much press around the brand new products. hardware issues like this thing bend, that is bigger issue from my perspective. gerri: people will be mad, mad, mad, mad. >> they will be mad but there are steps consumers can take until we find out if this is indeed an issue or flaw with the

actual design, to make sure that they're not one of those that bend. three things, number one, don't put phone in back pocket. phone is bad for variety of reasons. if you walk down sixth avenue everybody has phone in back pocket. if you bend down, that create as pressure point let alone fall out of your pocket. gerri: we have to carry it like delicate piece of clothing. come on, it's a phone. it shouldn't bend. >> true. but sophisticated piece of machinery. this is essentially up zooer computer. i think you have to treat it with respect. piece of advice number two, keep it in the front pocket, because of physics keep it vertical. don't horizontal. with your leg it could potentially bend. this is more important. keep it in your coat pocket or jacket pocket or in your purse. i'm wearing a brand new blazer with special pocket for smartphone. you're seeing more and more penetrate part culture. gerri: like wedding, 4-year-old

carrying iphone behind you. it is ridiculous. great advice though, i have to tell you. you thought it through. you answered our questions not only about the bending of iphone but iphone ios 8 update. >> thank you, gerri. gerri: we have more this hour including your voice. your voice is important to us. during the show we want you to facebook me or tweet me @gerriwillisfbn or send me an email at gerriwillis.com. at the bottom of the hour i will read your tweets or email. up next home depot hackers started to act on information they have taken, emptying out bank accounts and run up charges on charge cards. we hear from the victims. ♪

we have one woman who believes she was a victim. jessica mcfarland was recently notified her data was hacked and most likely from her shopping at home depot. jessica, thanks so much for being with us tonight. we really appreciate it. first we want you to tell us your story. what happened and how did you find out you had a problem? >> well, on saturday i received a fraud alert text notifying me that apparently i was making a purchase safeway store for $150 in san francisco and so i texted back, saying no. and it, blocks the card from being used. and then i called my bank and immediately as i was on the phone with the person on other end they told me this they were continuing transactions at that safeway for different varying amounts. there was $300 transaction, and $150 transaction. kind of surprised me people are attempting to use the card. seems like more than one person. gerri: wow. that had to be scary. what went through your mind when you found out even as you're on

the phone with your lender, they're out there using your card? >> i wanted to find them. i honestly, like, really impersonating. feel vulnerable and you wonder what else they have. if they know where you live, your phone number, you know. gerri: it is scary. agree. >> yeah. >> don't know extent of the breach. you don't know how much information they have. did home depot call you at all? >> number honestly i had chase, with target breach sent me a new card. i thought if i did have card issue at another breach, like the home depot i would be reissued a new card or sent an email i was at risk but i wasn't notified of anything. it kind of spaced my mind that i actually shopped at home depot until i think i vaguely remember an article on facebook, but i didn't even open it up. the target breach, it was all over the news. all over facebook and this one, you know, it was just not there like target was. >> now it is like same, same.

there is every day a new report of a hack and people being hurt. what are you going to do differently, if anything? this obviously is not your fault but, are you going to stop using credit card? what is your plan? >> i honestly wish i could. we're in age of technology we have to use this kind of information if we want to purchase anything off the internet or, you know, most stores, unless i have cash which will be difficult or a pain in the butt to go withdraw the money. but you know i would like to move my money to my savings account and set up any precautions on debit transactions. make sure, that you know, i'm notified of any out-of-state purchases or anything immediately. i mean the fraud alert worked to some extent. one transaction did go through. i'm thankful it did catch it to begin with but i mean, as far as, you know, me using my debit card, credit cards anywhere else, i will definitely make sure hopefully local business. i don't know how far breaches can reach small business.

i don't know, how far people can reach. gerri: now you're worried about the big box retailers. i see what you're thinking. let me ask you this though. if you could tell home depot anything tonight, what would you tell them? >> honestly i, from what i have heard that javelin program i think it is, they were aware from target and they were attacked by same program. they should have set up some precautions to prevent this from happening. i'm finding out they knew since ape or whenever, whenever they found out, it was week or so when i found out. it would be nice to receive email from my bank from home depot. i would have liked that extra security from them if they knew they did have a breach. gerri: how weld did visa do handling situation because my understanding you had a visa card. >> my debit visa card, i live 2 1/2 hours away from this credit union that i go through. so i am going to make the choice tomorrow to drive down and fill out the paperwork, fraud claims

and you know, fight for my money back. they said there shouldn't be a problem. that is not too much after bother. i'm a senior at oregon state. put as hinder community loans and buying books right now. -- student loans. gerri: jessica, we feel for you. thanks for coming on the show. thanks for being so eloquent explaining your issue. we appreciate it. >> thank you. gerri: and a programing note for you tonight. tune into "cavuto" at 8:00 p.m. eastern time. neil will be joined by former home depot ceo bob nardelli. you won't want to miss that. later in the show, latest move by the soda companies to cut calories going too far? the sec is taking over pimco on a etf bond fund. you may own this bond fund. stay with us. ♪ she's still the one for you.

scrutiny of investment funds and whether they value assets accurately and they say they have been investigating pimco for months. one securities attorney saying other firms buying and selling similar assets could be sec targets. >> sec is making clear coming hard against firms that misprice these securities. and so that is part of the problem of holding these illiquid securities, games have been played with these prices. the sec knows it if i'm one of these firms and i i have a significant percentage of my assets in illiquid investments would i expect a call from the sec or at least an investigation. >> pimco's spokesperson tells fox business, quote, we take our regulatory obligations and responsiblities to our clients very seriously. we believe our pricing procedures are entirely appropriate and in keeping with industry best practices. pimco is the largest bond manager in the world, controlling nearly $2 trillion in assets. however billions have left the fund under investigation as well

as billions more across its other mutual funds of late. gerri? >> rich, pimco has had a lot of troubles but sounds like this may go much further than pimco and reach out to other mutual fund operators, true? >> absolutely. at least as part of what we've been hearing from some analysts and attorneys this might be a broad industry practice the sec is looking into. not sure what particular funds they could look into, but again this pricing structure that pimco says is within industry best practices and number of traders according to "the wall street journal" say some of that pricing mechanism might be a popular use among these types of assets managers and could be under investigation by the sec. gerri: rich, great job reporting that. thank you so much. >> thanks, gerri. >> coming up, we answer the question, is this recovery for real? and next, the three biggest soda companies vow to help americans cut calories but is this big announcement all for show? ♪

i have a lifetime of experience. so i know how important that is. gerri: new home sales pointing to good news for consumers, but when looks for signs for a tree economic -- truex economy recovery what should we look at? joining us is moody's chief economist john loss ski. lonski some can they keep it up? >> it was crazy, it is not a good idea to believe this data paipoints. remember home sales grew off of a very low base with this jump of 18% from previous month or 33% from a year ago, pace of new home sales in august trail average of 1990-1999 by sweat%.

-- 28%, that is included a bad housing recession, during early 1990s. gerri: interesting. we have had the existing home sales numbers a few days ago that was negative. is housing really coming back, conventional wisdom last year it was great, this year so-so, seems to me to slowdown. >> year t year-to-date, grand tl down 5% year-over-year, at this time a year earlier, in 2013, we were growing total home sales by 11 or 12%. so housing market has softened in response to higher mortgage yields. gerri: those interest rates are mortgages are higher, okay housing eh . >> and incomes, consumer incomes

down 1/10 of 1%, this can't be good. >> it is not, it becomes worse when you consider this is an aggregate number that includes a growth of incomes for those individuals that are well paid. you know the fed came out with a study that focusing on the median of real family incomes, this particular measure, has been declining since 2004. gerri: that was a depressing number, when that came out, i thought this cannot be good, one of th the big problem that peope don't talk about enough, not just this incomes are down but the price we pay for everything is going through the roof. >> that is why real income is declineing for many middle class families, this is a great recovery, if you have skills in demand, ne if you or globally competitive otherwise it is a

>> if i am forward looking, i am interested with incomes. are incomes growing rapidly enough relative to prices so i have strong reason to expects future increases by consumer spending, i don't think if that is necessarily the case today. i would look at how nene consumer -- confident consumers are of future income growth, they have been very low, lowest of any recovero record, that tells me that consumers will be very careful about taking advantage of low mortgage yields and buying a house provided they can get a mortgage, they will be cautious with buying an football, on auto -- an automobile, on auto front we had a great month for auto sales in august, nevertheless, believe it or not, the share prices of 2 mayor automakers are down by 5%
