Customers can pick a checking account with a monthly maintenance fee that matches their needs and financial circumstances. On some, but not all, of its accounts the maintenance fee can be waived. However, all checking accounts include access to branches in more than 25 states, nationwide ATMs, and online banking options.
Additionally, for customers looking for a savings account, US Bank has various options depending on your needs. Accounts vary on what you are saving for and either have a $0 monthly maintenance fee or a low fee that cannot be waived. In addition, each account requires an opening deposit.
US Bank also provides various credit card options for personal banking, as well as business checking account options.

The Bad
- Monthly Maintenance Fees
- Overdraft Fees
Monthly Maintenance Fees
Monthly maintenance fees for US Bank checking accounts are relatively high in comparison to other banks. It is important to note that maintenance fees can be waived if a certain account balance is maintained or if a minimum amount is deposited into the account each month.
Overdraft Fees
US Bank has a high fee of $36 for overdraft transactions of more than $5. This fee can be charged up to four times a day, which can quickly accumulate and take a hit on your finances.
The Bottom Line
US Bank has shown that it is constantly growing. Providing services to consumers, small businesses, or commercial companies, there are options for everyone.
US Bank has much to offer customers with its wide range of financial services. Customers are free to bank online or use US Bank's mobile app to deposit a check. Customers can also save for college and find ways to finance their journey in receiving a higher education.
Our recommendation: If you're in a rush, choose another bank whose sign up information is more readily available. If you have time when choosing who to bank with, consider US Bank, as it is the fifth-largest bank in the nation overall.
