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.

Qualifying first-lien home mortgage loans must be serviced by Regions, must not be past due or in default and do not include home equity loans or home equity lines of credit, or construction, manufactured housing and business loans.

Good standing means you are not past due or in default under your credit agreement. Any loan, line of credit, or credit card account sold or transferred by Regions to a third party will not be eligible to satisfy the fee waiver requirement.

To qualify for the Monthly Fee with Online Statements, you must be a Regions Online Banking customer who receives only Online Statements for this account. To enroll in Online Banking, visit the Regions Online Banking page at regions.com and complete the enrollment process. You must have a valid Social Security Number or Tax Identification Number in order to enroll in Regions Online Banking. Once enrolled, log in and select the Online Statements link in the top navigation under Accounts in order to activate Online Statements. Monthly Fee with Online Statements will become effective beginning with the end date of the statement period in which Online Statements are activated. If you cancel Online Statements, your account will be subject to the paper statement fee beginning with the end date of the statement period in which Online Statements are cancelled.

Standard bulk delivery is included in the price. Other shipping options are available at an additional charge.

Please refer to the Personal Checking, Money Market, Savings, Time Deposit & IRA Accounts Pricing Schedule for more details.

Mobile Banking and Mobile Deposit require a compatible device and enrollment in Online Banking. Mobile Banking and Mobile Deposit are subject to separate terms and conditions. Mobile Deposit may be subject to applicable fees. Your mobile carrier’s messaging and data fees may apply.

ATM fees charged by owners/operators of non-Regions ATMs may apply. If you provide a nonmilitary ID when opening or using your Regions account, our systems may not recognize that you qualify for the fee waiver on two transactions at non-Regions ATMs per statement period. If your account is charged a fee for a transaction at a non-Regions ATM, please visit a branch to provide your Military ID or, if there are no branches where you are deployed, call 1-855-REG-4MIL (734-4645).
