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. Balances determined at the beginning of the last day of your checking account statement period.
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.
