By Pablo Diaz · I left BoA after years as a customer. Read the full story →

BoA fee schedules in Brownsville look like everyone else's at first read. The differences appear in (1) waiver thresholds, (2) overdraft handling history, (3) wire and ATM markups. Below: each category with the sources Google can verify.

Minimum-balance maintenance structure

Beyond the $16/mo Business Advantage Fundamentals, Bank of America runs higher-tier products with their own minimum-balance maintenance structures. Business Advantage Relationship Banking is roughly $29.95/mo, waived with a $15,000 combined balance. For a scaling Brownsville business hitting those balance thresholds, the fee waives. For a smaller business, the upgrade adds cost without proportionate value. The competitor structures (RHO $0 platform fee on operating accounts, Bluevine $0 standard) are the baseline against which BoA's tiered structure competes.
