Santander Merchant Services (credit and debit card payment processing) and Santander Payroll Services ACH debit items are not included. Business Checking and Business Checking Plus basic transaction limits also include Santander Check Deposit Link batch deposits, Santander Check Deposit Link items processed, and Santander Check Deposit Link ACH converted transactions. Service Fee Period means the period beginning on the day regular service fees, such as monthly fees, are posted to your Account and ends on the day before service fees are next posted to your Account. This may not always be a calendar month.

2Avoid monthly maintenance fees by maintaining the required combined average daily balance in this account plus additional business checking and business money market savings (excluding commercial money market savings and certificates of deposit) owned by the same business entity. Only balances in these combined accounts owned by the same business entity can be considered when calculating the combined balance.
