That is incorrect. I didn't realize there was a 5 transaction minimum but it is most definitely avoidable. Right off my paperwork for my Chase BusinessClassic Checking:
Avoid a monthly service fee:
- Maintain required minimum average monthly balance OR
- Link to a Chase Premier Checking or Chase Premier Platinum Checking OR
- Link to an active Chase business credit card OR
- Have 5 or more debit card purchases post each statement period
For my personal account, the banker opened a Chase Premier Checking instead of a the basic Chase Checking, and linked the BusinessClassic account to it, and I pay $0 maintenance fees for either account. Haven't made a debit transaction beyond the minimum for the miles.
