Commerce Bank's Free Checking Now Requires $100 Min Balance

Shoehorned into a postcard proclaiming the waiving all ATM fees, Commerce Bank announced their free checking will no longer be free.

Starting April 12, checking accounts will now require a $100 minimum balance to avoid a $15 “maintenance fee.”

Not sure if this only affects New Yorkers.
