What is the monthly maintenance fee for the Relationship Checking account? And how can it be waived?
The monthly maintenance fee for the Relationship Checking account is $25. But we'll waive the fee if you meet any of the following requirements:
The minimum daily Ledger Balance in your account is $10,000 or more for the previous calendar month.
You have a Monthly Combined Balance of $25,000 for the previous calendar month.
You're a client of our employee benefits program, Best of BMO U.S., and have requested the waiver from your BMO Banker.
1) Open relationship account with $25 fees, pay it for 4 months (assuming bonus payout on 130 day and grace period before fees kick in). After bonus payout, convert account to Advantage without any fees and maintain for 1 year. Net would be 600-100 fees = 500.
2) Open advantage account with $0 fees, meet terms, get 400. No need to change account type or other hassle.
In nutshell some effort for additional $100.
