U.S. Bank National Association

Branch-bank checking with no monthly maintenance fee

Overview

U.S. Bank’s Business Essentials is one of the few business checking accounts from a large national branch bank with no monthly maintenance fee and no minimum balance requirement[6]. Opening requires a $25 deposit[6]. Digital transactions, including debit card purchases, ATM use, electronic transfers, ACH and Zelle, are unlimited, and the account includes 25 free teller and paper transactions per statement cycle, with each additional one charged at $0.50[6].

The page does not set a dollar limit on cash deposits, but teller deposits count toward the 25 free teller transactions, so businesses that deposit cash several times a week may exceed the allowance[6]. For higher-volume businesses U.S. Bank sells a Platinum Business Checking Package, which at the time of review was advertised with a $1,200 bonus tied to $25,000 in deposits[6]; Gold Business Checking also exists but fees were not shown on the reviewed page. The combination of a physical branch network and a free base account makes Business Essentials a practical alternative to fintech accounts for owners who need in-person service or cash handling.
