Chandler BoA minimum-balance maintenance structure: schedule + waiver paths

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

Bank of America's fee schedule is on their public site, but the CFPB record on how those fees have been applied in practice is also public. Chandler customers deserve both. Below: schedule + record + waiver strategies + alternatives.

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 Chandler 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.
