Monthly fee by account

Opened 28 October 2026. Amounts below are US dollars. The consumer fee schedule is dated 18 May 2026. Standard Checking is $3.00 a month, waived with eStatements. It is also waived if you are 65 or older and the primary member, a trustee, or an executor, even without eStatements. Perks Checking is $7.00 a month.

Overdraft, wires, and other fees

An overdraft or non-sufficient funds fee from a check, an on-us check cashed in a branch, or an ACH item is $29.00. The debit card line is also $29.00, and you may opt out. Both lines waive the fee when the transaction is $5.00 or less. The [Courtesy Pay page](${MERITRUST_COURTESY}) says a covered item is $29.00, at most five fees a day, and that Meritrust does not assess the fee unless the available balance is more than $29.00 below zero.

A stop payment is $32.00. Checks are free to stop in online banking and the mobile app. ACH is not included in that free line. An incoming domestic wire and an incoming international wire are $15.00 each. An outgoing domestic wire is $25.00. An outgoing international wire is $50.00. A Visa debit or credit transaction in a foreign country is 0.80% when it is in U.S. currency and 1.00% when it is not. The schedule does not print a non-Meritrust ATM dollar. The monthly list is US monthly checking fees by bank. A yearly total from numbers you type is on the bank fee calculator. It does not look up this institution.
