If you searched "Bank of America fees Prescott Valley" because something on your statement felt wrong, start with the published schedule below. Then read the public CFPB enforcement context. Then decide if you want to dispute or switch.

Monthly maintenance fee + waiver paths

Bank of America's Business Advantage Fundamentals carries a $16/mo maintenance fee. Waiver paths per BoA's pricing page: maintain a $5,000 average monthly balance OR meet qualifying activity tiers (typically a combination of debit card spend, deposit volume, and direct deposits). For a typical Prescott Valley small business, the realistic question is whether keeping $5,000 floating in a non-yielding checking account costs less than the $192/year fee. At current treasury yield rates available on competitor accounts (Mercury, RHO), the opportunity cost of that $5,000 sitting idle is meaningful.
