Say Goodbye to Monthly Maintenance Fees: Why Holdings is the Best Choice for Small Businesses

Say Goodbye to Monthly Maintenance Fees: Why Holdings is the Best Choice for Small Businesses

Monthly maintenance fees are one of the most common—and frustrating—costs in business banking. Traditional banks often charge $7–$15 (or more) every month just to keep your account open, unless you jump through hoops like maintaining a high minimum balance or setting up direct deposits. For small businesses, these fees add up fast, eating into your profits and making it harder to predict your expenses. At Holdings, we believe your money should work for you, not against you. Here’s how we eliminate monthly maintenance fees and why that’s a game-changer for your business.

The Real Cost of Monthly Maintenance Fees

  • Recurring charges: Most major banks charge a monthly fee for business checking, unless you meet strict requirements.

  • Minimum balance traps: To avoid fees, you might have to keep $1,000–$1,500 or more in your account—money that could be working harder for your business.

  • Hidden complexity: Banks often bundle these fees with other charges, making it tough to know what you’re really paying each month.
