- Allowance: unlimited everyday transactions, so heavier use doesn’t add fees.
- Waiver or fee? Keeping $4,000 waives the $16.95 fee ($203 a year). The same money at 3% (30 Day Notice Savings Account, EQ Bank) would earn about $120 a year, so holding the balance is the cheaper way to run this account.
