If you searched "Bank of America fees Tucson" 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.

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 Tucson 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).
