They moved me to the prime account. There is a fee but its waived by the amount i have in my retirement. I dont anticipate any real changes.

Besides the minimum balance requirement and the $10 fee, the interest rate earned for crown was minimal maybe a few cents during the period. My mortgage is carried by WF so for me it's convenience otherwise I'd explore options. I'd honestly direct deposit with my credit unions, Navy Federal. I'm locked in with such a great interest rate with WF, they know I'm not going anywhere lol.

There is a fee. You can avoid the fee with direct deposit or maintaining a minimum balance amount.

TD's Beyond Checking has a ton of perks and is no fee if you keep $2500 in the account, or direct deposits over $5k/month. Pretty reasonable- similar accounts at bigger banks usually require $15k to waive the fee.

Might as well earn a nice bonus to open the account.

I got an email that Wells Fargo is discontinuing my type (Crown) of checking account. Account is apparently changing to "Everyday Checking."

Looking into other checking account options - would love recs. We don't qualify for USAA unfortunately.
