Would inbound transfers from another bank qualify as direct deposits?
Qualifying direct deposits are regular, periodic automated clearing house (ACH) credits, which may include payroll, salary, pension or government payments (such as Social Security). Deposits that DO NOT QUALIFY are those through the Real-Time Payments (RTP) network, and payments through peer-to-peer networks such as PayPal, Zelle, Venmo or others. These do not qualify as direct deposits. Transfers from another Huntington deposit account also do not qualify.
I can't take a bank seriously if they don't consider peer to peer payments as direct deposits.
Those holes are still making interest off of it

Everyone told me they would help, but they were basically the BBB and did nothing but contact them and stand aside.

The CFPB didn't do anything except forward the complaint to the bank. That apparently got the attention of a higher-up, who stepped in and got the funds released for me. So whether a CFPB complaint is effective is YMMV.
Being in person to verify you are who you say you is not needed in this day and age. There is either a guy who should have retired 10 years ago calling the shots in their security department, or they haven't bothered to put in the effort and investment to build a remote verification process. Either way it points to a company culture problem and a poorly run place. I wouldn't trust my money with a bank like that. I'm an IT Consultant and I see this crap all the time in poorly run businesses. They aren't lagging behind the times with tech because they're too busy banking it up awesomely. Trust me. The whole company is most likely a mess.
US Bank does waive their maintenance fee if you have multiple products with them but I remember, way back when, it was never stated they did that when i opened up an account.

Hopefully the $1,000 in monthly deposits can be from another bank to avoid monthly fee, and not necessarily direct deposit like payroll etc. Does anyone know for sure? Thanks.
