- US bank also doesn’t charge a maintenance fee. However, the free transaction per month, in this case, is restricted to 150. The bank has more than 3000 branches spread in the Eastern half of the US. It is ideal for new businesses, given the low transaction number per month.
- Capital One charges no sort of monthly maintenance fee just like the above two banks. However, there are pros and cons to this bank. Capital One has no limit for transactions.
