U.S. Bank Business Checking Customers ‘Analysis Service Charge’ (Paper Statements)

Reader Tanya sent in an e-mail saying that she opened a U.S. Business checking account for the sign up bonus earlier this year. When she was doing a routine inspection of her account she noticed a fee for $5, the description of which is ‘Analysis Service Charge’. Tanya was told that this fee is being charged for the paper statements, I would have thought it would have made sense to change the description to ‘paper statements’ or something similar but apparently not. Others have run into a similar issue before and despite contacting U.S. Bank they have been unable to get a clear answer as to what this fee is charged for, thus this post.
