Santander Merchant Services (credit and debit card payment processing) and Santander Payroll Services ACH debit items are not included. Business Checking, Business Interest Checking, Basic 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, money market savings (excluding Commercial Money Market Savings), and savings accounts 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.

3A payment from Santander Merchant Services deposited during the service fee period to a Business Checking or Business Checking Plus account will waive the Monthly Fee for that checking account.

4Cash management (account analysis) service fees are charged to your account in the current month for the prior calendar month’s activity and include but are not limited to fees for advanced payments and receivables services, some business online banking services, excess account activity, and cash/coin processing. The period that your Account Analysis statement represents can be different than your deposit account service fee period.
