Avoiding Fees
Monthly Fees
Business gold checking account has a $20 monthly fee. This is waived with any of the following:
- U.S. Bank Payment Solutions Merchant Account
- $10,000 average collected checking balance or $25,000 average collected checking balance on interest-bearing option
- $20,000 in combined average collected deposit balances or $50,000 in combined average collected balance on interest-bearing option
- $50,000 combined average collected business deposits and outstanding business credit balances
- $75,000 in combined business deposit and outstanding business credit
You need a payment solutions merchant account for the bonus anyway.
Early Account Termination Fee
Our Verdict
You can read more about merchant services and what they are here. Personally I think it’s best to avoid these merchant services deals as they are more work than they are worth, but as this is a $750 bonus some people might disagree.
