Avoiding Fees
$10 Monthly Fee
This account has a $10 monthly fee, this is waived if you do any of the following:
- Maintain an average ledger balance of $1,000 or more in your Chase Business Total Savings account or better; OR,
- Maintain a linked Chase Business Total Checking® account

Our Verdict
This works out to be an annualized return of a little over 5%, pretty good deal (compare this to other high interest accounts). If you’re going to go in branch to do this deal, keep in mind you can also do the following:
- Chase Business Total Checking $300 In Branch Bonus – No Direct Deposit Required
- Check for pre-approved cards, as this bypasses the 5/24 rule
I’ll be adding this to our list of the best business bank bonuses. There is also a $600 checking/savings personal bonus that can be done online.
