For the average monthly balance, we divide the sum of the ending posted balance for each day in the statement period by the number of days in the statement period. Please note that your account statement only shows ending posted balances and an average balance reflected by those ending posted balances. The ending balance for any day is the opening balance for the next day.
For the monthly fee waiver, we count all ACH direct deposits that post to your account during the account statement period, excluding the last day of the period. ACH direct deposits that post on the last day of the statement period are counted in the following statement period.
Posted to your eAccess Account during the statement period for CheckCard activity and posted in the most recent billing cycle for your credit card account for credit card activity.
For the average monthly balance, we divide the sum of the opening posted balances for each day in the statement period by the number of days in the statement period. Please note that your account statement only shows ending posted balances and an average balance reflected by those ending posted balances. The average balance shown on the account statement is not used for purposes of the monthly fee waiver. The ending balance for any day is the opening balance for the next day.
To qualify for combined balances in relation to the monthly fee waiver, the primary (person listed first on the account) or secondary (person listed second on the account) owner of the checking account must be the primary or secondary owner of the related deposit accounts. The primary or secondary owner of the checking account must be the primary owner of related credit accounts. See pricing schedule for other requirements.

Regions does NOT provide Standard Overdraft Coverage on the Now Checking account. This means that we will return items unpaid when they are presented against an insufficient available account balance, and we will decline to authorize debit card and other withdrawal transactions when there is an insufficient available account balance to cover the transactions. See Regions Now Checking Disclosure of Terms and Pricing Schedule for more info.

Contact your local branch or call 1-800-REGIONS (734-4667) for your fee refund. Paid Overdraft/Returned Item fees apply to items presented against insufficient available funds in your account, including a check, in-person withdrawal, ATM withdrawal, debit card transaction, or withdrawal by any other manual or electronic means whatsoever, even if the transaction was previously authorized against a positive available balance. Only customers who have opted in to Standard Overdraft Coverage will be charged Paid Overdraft fees for ATM and everyday CheckCard transactions. We will charge you a combined total of no more than five (5) Paid Overdraft Item fees and Returned Item fees per day. Standard Overdraft Coverage elections can be made at most Regions ATMs, at your local Regions branch, by calling us at 1-800-947-BANK (2265), or through Regions Online Banking.
The eAccess account is designed for customers who do most of their banking electronically, and provides processing at no charge for first 3 checks per month, with a $.50 fee for each additional check.

We will notify you before the fee is reinstated.
