Monthly Maintenance Fee
All checking accounts require a monthly maintenance fee. The fees vary in cost ($12-$25) depending on which checking account a person decides to utilize. While these fees can be avoided each month, there are restrictions that need to be met in order to keep it from being charged. These restrictions include:- minimum daily balances
- Status as a student
- Direct deposit requirements
- Loan statuses
Incentive
As an incentive to avoid monthly costs or other fees, SunTrust requires their customers to open other accounts or borrow money through one of their loan options. This essentially forces customers into conducting further business with them just to avoid a monthly fee.The Bottom Line
