Reading monthly fee waivers
A waived monthly fee still has conditions to meet.
SwitchaBank · Guide sources checked
Start with the standard fee
Record the monthly fee before any waiver. Check the included transactions and additional charges separately.
Read the balance rule
Check the required balance and how long it must be maintained. Some accounts charge the full fee if the balance falls short for even one day.
Check other requirements
A discount may depend on other products held with the bank. Confirm whether you meet the published conditions.
Put it into practice
The Chequing table separates zero monthly fees from conditional waivers. Compare the original waiver text. The calculator does not assume that you qualify for a waiver.
Select products in the table or catalog, open your comparison, then check the bank’s latest terms. With two deposits selected, you can also try the calculator.
