How to legitimately waive BoA monthly fees

Legitimate BoA monthly fee waiver paths per their published schedule: (1) maintain $5,000 average monthly balance on Business Advantage Fundamentals, or $15,000 combined on Relationship Banking; (2) meet qualifying activity tiers (debit spend + deposit volume + direct deposits — exact thresholds on BoA's site); (3) qualify for Preferred Rewards for Business based on combined balances across BoA + Merrill accounts. For a Lubbock business that does not naturally hit those thresholds, the simpler answer is often switching to a $0-monthly-fee alternative (Mercury, RHO, Novo, Relay, Bluevine standard).
