Poughkeepsie business owners often discover BoA's full fee structure only after a year of statements. This page collapses that into a single read: published rates, waiver mechanics, public enforcement context, and what the alternatives charge.

Fee schedule overview

BoA's main small business fee categories: monthly maintenance ($16/mo Business Advantage Fundamentals, waived with $5,000 avg balance), wire transfers ($30 domestic / $45 international), out-of-network ATMs ($2.50 + third-party fee), overdraft fees (subject to CFPB 2023 enforcement on stacking practices), foreign transactions (~3% on most cards), and per-product minimum balance fees on relationship products. Each is on BoA's published fee disclosure page. The CFPB consumer complaint database has tens of thousands of fee-related complaints filed against Bank of America for additional public-record context.
