How to Avoid Fees

Every month, we'll review your banking relationship and automatically determine your rewards level - Bronze, Silver, Gold, or Platinum.
If you qualify for a higher rewards level, you'll automatically move up to that level. If you qualify for a lower level, you'll have a grace period of 30 days before you move to the lower level - giving you a month to increase your balance or services, and maintain or move up to the next rewards level.
You're always in control of your rewards level. So if you want to take advantage of a specific reward - for example the best interest rate discount on a home equity loan to remodel your kitchen - simply choose one of three options to qualify for Platinum level.

With Rewards Banking, it's easy to avoid monthly maintenance fees. All you need to do is:

Sign up for Direct Deposit AND three other services, such as eStatements, Online Banking, or eBills
OR
Maintain a $1,000 minimum daily checking balance, or a $10,000 combined balance of all deposit accounts
