To record a service fee that only appears on the bank statement, you would typically use the "Bank Charges" journal or "Miscellaneous Expenses" journal, depending on your accounting system. This reflects the expense incurred due to the bank's service fee. You would debit the relevant expense account (like Bank Charges) and credit your bank account to accurately reflect the deduction.
In a trial balance, bank charges are typically recorded as a debit entry because they represent an expense incurred by the business. Since expenses decrease the net income, they are recorded on the debit side of the trial balance. On the other hand, any bank charges that may be associated with fees for services rendered to the business would not be recorded as a credit in the trial balance. Instead, they are deducted from the cash or bank account balance.

Bank overdraft charges are the result of someone spending more money than they have in their bank account. The bank then charges interest on the overdrawn amount.
No, bank expenses do not typically go on the income statement. Bank expenses are usually recorded on the bank's own financial statements as part of their operating expenses.
