Footnote 1Bank of America will waive the monthly maintenance fee on your Business Economy Checking account for each statement period in the month following a point-of-sale Bank of America Visa Check Card purchase. For example, if you make a point-of-sale check card purchase in the month of August, your monthly maintenance fee credit will appear on your September statement. The following transactions do not qualify as point-of-sale purchases: a) ATM transactions; b) credits, such as those for purchases that are cancelled or returned, or other adjustments related to point-of-sale purchases; c) purchases of cash-like items, such as money orders, traveler’s cheques, foreign currency, cashier’s checks, gaming chips, and other similar instruments and things of value; d) account funding transactions, including transfers to open or fund deposit, escrow or brokerage accounts, and purchases of stored value cards. The account must be in good standing at the time of the purchase(s). For each month a point-of-sale Check Card purchase is not made, you will be charged your usual monthly maintenance fee if you do not meet the minimum balance requirement outlined in your Personal Schedule of Fees. We may, at our discretion and without notice to you, amend or cancel this offer at any time.
