Is there a minimum balance required for a checking account?

Most of our personal checking accounts are free, with no minimum balance or other requirements. There is a $2,500 minimum balance requirement for our interest-earning Premier Checking account to avoid the monthly fee. For up-to-date information on our Checking account requirements, see our Personal Checking Account page.

Our Business Checking accounts do require a minimum balance to avoid a monthly service fee. For more information on our Business Checking accounts, see our Business Checking accounts page.

You’ll also find that our Service Fees are considerably fewer and lower than the big banks!
