Frequently Asked Questions


About Accounts
This section covers some of the features and services
that may apply to your account.

What other agreements have terms that apply


to my deposit account?
In addition to the terms in this Schedule of Fees, the
terms in the Deposit Agreement and Disclosures, the
signature card for your account and the other account
opening documents govern your account and are part
of the binding contract between you and us for your
account. Please read these documents carefully.

What are paperless statements?


With the paperless statement option, you get your
account statement electronically through Online Banking
and you do not get a paper statement. You can enroll
in paperless statements at a financial center or
through Online Banking. When you enroll at a financial
center, youll need to log into Online Banking from your
computer to confirm your choice.

What is a direct deposit?


A direct deposit is an electronic deposit of funds to a
checking or savings account.
For Bank of America Core Checking accounts, qualifying
direct deposits are deposits of regular monthly
income such as your salary, pension, Social Security
benefits which are made through the automated
clearinghouse (ACH) by your employer or other payer.
Other types of transfers and deposits do not qualify for
the reduction in the monthly maintenance fee. Examples
of non-qualifying transfers and deposits include: teller
deposits, wire transfers, non-periodic direct deposits
(such as tax refunds or payments for the sale of goods
or services), Online Banking transfers, telephone
transfers, and ATM transfers and deposits.

What does variable rate mean?


Funds in an interest bearing checking or savings
account earn a variable interest rate. This means
that your interest rate and annual percentage yield
may change after the account is opened. At our
discretion, we may change your interest rate and annual
percentage yield at any time.

What does it mean to link accounts?


You can link some of your other accounts with us either
to your Bank of America Interest Checking, Regular
Checking or to your Advantage checking account for
pricing. When you link another account for pricing, you
can use the balances in the other account to help
you meet the balance required to avoid the monthly
maintenance fee on your checking account. You must
tell us what other accounts you want us to link to your
checking account. An account can only be linked for
pricing to one checking account at a time. We do not
link your other accounts for pricing unless you tell us
to do so. You may not link a SafeBalance Banking
account to any other account for pricing.
Please see the checking account descriptions in this
schedule of fees for information about what accounts
can be linked and applicable balance requirements.
Some restrictions apply to what accounts can be linked.
See below and the Combined Balance Service section in
the Deposit Agreement and Disclosures for information.
When a new account is opened to replace an existing
account, we do not automatically link the new account
to your checking account for pricing, even if the
existing account was linked. You must tell us to link
the new account. As examples, when you refinance
your mortgage loan, the refinanced loan is a new
account. Whenever we change the account number of
your checking account, we close the current checking

account and open a new checking account. In both


examples, the replacement account is a new account
and, if you want us to link it to your checking account
for pricing, you need to tell us to link the new account.
For linked accounts, we may send you a monthly
statement that reports account information for all of
your linked accounts instead of separate statements for
each account.

What Bank of America first mortgage loans can


qualify for a waiver of the monthly maintenance fee
on a Bank of America Advantage account?
We currently service many mortgage loans we make. If
we service your Bank of America first mortgage loan,
you can have us link the loan to your Bank of America
Advantage checking account. Sometimes we sell
mortgage loan servicing to other companies. If we sell
the servicing on your mortgage loan, then the loan is no
longer eligible to be used for this waiver.

What limits apply to linking accounts?


Some restrictions apply to what accounts can be linked
to a checking account, including the following. You can
generally link savings, money market savings, Individual
Retirement Account (IRA) and CD, and some checking
and Merrill Edge or Merrill Lynch investment accounts
to your checking account. You may only link an account
to one checking account at a time. To link additional
accounts to a checking account, at least one of the
owners of the linked additional account must also be
an owner of the checking account. You may not link
personal and business accounts together. You may link
a SafeBalance Banking account to another SafeBalance
Banking account for some purposes, but not to any
other account for pricing.
We may in our discretion place other restrictions on
what accounts can be linked.

Are the statement cycles for linked accounts


the same?
When you link accounts for pricing, the statement cycles
are generally different. If you use a combined statement
for your checking and savings accounts, the statement
cycles for the linked checking and savings accounts are
generally the same.

What are combined statements?


A combined statement is one statement that reports
activity for your checking account and each deposit
account linked to that account, instead of separate
statements for each account. In most cases we do
not automatically send you a combined statement.
You must generally request a combined statement and
tell us to link the accounts you want included in the
combined statement.
When linked accounts are reported on the combined
statement, you understand and agree that each owner
of any linked account can review information about all
other linked accounts. You should not link accounts
that you do not want others to see. Please read the
information about Combined Statements in the Deposit
Agreement and Disclosures.

What is the transaction date for the savings


Withdrawal Limit Fee?
To determine whether a Withdrawal Limit Fee applies to
a withdrawal from your savings account, we count the
withdrawal on the date we post it to your account. If
you are counting the number of withdrawals you make
each monthly statement cycle, please note that the
date we count the withdrawal may be different than
the date you authorize or make the withdrawal. This
means that we may not count the withdrawal until a
later statement cycle.

(continued)

14

Keep the Change


Savings Service
What are the transaction limitations on my
savings account?
There is no limit on the number of deposits you may
make to your account. You can also make any number
of withdrawals and transfers to your account through the
financial center, by mail or at an ATM or ATM with Teller
Assist (ATA).
However, federal regulations (applied to all U.S. Banks)
and the Deposit Agreement and Disclosures limit the
number of certain types of withdrawals and transfers
from a savings account to a total of six each monthly
statement cycle (each month for savings accounts with
a quarterly statement). This transaction limit applies
to the following types of withdrawals or transfers:
automatic or pre-authorized transfers, telephone
transfers, Online and Mobile Banking transfers or
payments, or, if checks or debit cards are allowed on
the account, check, draft and point of sale transactions.
If you exceed these limits on more than an occasional
basis, we may convert your account to another type of
account, like a checking account, and your account may
no longer earn interest.
Please note that for savings accounts, we charge a
Withdrawal Limit Fee for each withdrawal and transfer
of any type in excess of six if the applicable balance
requirement is not met. See the information about this
fee in the savings account section on pages 5 and 6.

When you enroll in our Keep the Change savings


service, we round up the amount of any Bank of America
debit card purchase made by you or a joint owner of
your checking account to the next whole dollar amount,
and transfer the amount in excess of the purchase price
to your savings account.1
We aggregate the round-up from purchases that post
to your checking account each business day and make
a single transfer (the Keep the Change transfer) at
the end of the business day. If on a business day you
do not have sufficient available funds in your checking
account, or if any transaction has overdrawn your
checking account, we do not round-up purchases posted
on that business day and we cancel the Keep the
Change transfer for that day.
If your debit card purchase is subsequently cancelled or
reversed, the corresponding Keep the Change transfer
will remain in the savings account.1 We may cancel or
modify the Keep the Change service at any time.
1 If

your savings account enrolled in Keep the Change


is converted to a checking account, Keep the Change
transfers will continue to be made into that account.
Should you have any questions on the Keep the
Change program, please contact your nearest financial
center.

Keep the Change Patent No. US 8,301,530B2.

Preferred Rewards

You are eligible for the Preferred Rewards program


when you (i) have an active, eligible personal
checking account with Bank of America, and (ii)
maintain the balance required for one of the balance
tiers in any combination of eligible deposit accounts
with Bank of America and/or eligible investment
balances with Merrill Edgeor Merrill Lynch. Once
you are eligible, you can enroll for program benefits.
Enrollment is generally available within three or more
business days of eligibility.
The combined balance requirement is calculated
based on your average daily balance maintained for
a three calendar month period.
Your benefits become effective within one month
of your enrollment, unless we indicate otherwise.
Some benefits are automatically activated upon
the effective date of your enrollment and require
no action on your part. Some benefits may require
you to open a new account or take other action.
Some benefits are available based on balances and
other requirements without the need to enroll. Read
carefully the terms of any offer to understand the
action required.
Different benefits are available at different balance
tiers. The balance tiers are: Gold, for combined
balances at and above $20,000; Platinum, for
combined balances at and above $50,000; and
Platinum Honors, for combined balances at or above
$100,000.
You will qualify for the next higher balance tier when
your three-month average combined balances exceed
the minimum amount for that balance tier. You will
qualify for the benefits of the next higher balance tier
starting in the month after the month in which you
satisfy the combined balance requirement.
We will perform an annual review of your qualifying
balances in the month following the anniversary
date of your initial enrollment in the program. The
annual review will calculate your three-month average
combined balance as of the end of your anniversary
month and place you in the balance tier for which

15

you meet the qualification requirements. If the result


of the annual review would be to move you to a lower
tier, you will have a three-month period after your
anniversary month in which to restore your qualifying
balance before you are moved to that lower balance
tier. If you are moved to a lower balance tier, your
benefits may be changed to those of the balance tier
for which you qualify without further notice. Please
note that while you can be moved to a higher balance
tier after any month in which you satisfy the combined
balance requirement for that tier, you will only be
moved to a lower balance tier as a result of the
annual review.
If as a result of the annual review you do not qualify
for any balance tier, and you do not sufficiently
restore your balances in the three months after your
anniversary month, your qualification will discontinue.
Your benefits may then be discontinued immediately
without further notice.
Your qualification will discontinue if you no longer
maintain an eligible, active personal checking account
with Bank of America. You will have 60 days to
open a qualifying account before your enrollment
is discontinued. You or we may terminate your
enrollment at any time.
Only personal accounts that you own count towards
your balance requirements and receive benefits.
Accounts on which you are a signer but not an owner,
or accounts included in your periodic statement
on which you are not an owner, are not eligible.
SafeBalance Banking accounts do not count
towards the checking account requirement or balance
requirements for Preferred Rewards, and SafeBalance
Banking accounts do not receive the fee waivers and
other benefits of the Preferred Rewards program.
Enrolling in Preferred Rewards will discontinue your
participation in the Platinum Privilegesor Banking
Privileges for Wealth Management programs. In
some cases, Preferred Rewards benefits differ from
Platinum Privileges and Banking Privileges for Wealth
Management benefits, so be sure you understand the
effect on your benefits before enrolling.

Platinum Honors tier will receive the 75% Rewards Bonus


for redeeming their rewards into an eligible account
instead of their existing 50% bonus.
Rewards are maintained and redeemed according to
individual card program rules. Refer to program rules for
additional details.

We may change or terminate program benefits at any


time, without prior notice.
Employee benefit plans (such as 401(k) plans) and
certain 529 Plans will not count towards the combined
balance requirement.
For details on Employee qualification requirements,
please visit the Employee Banking & Investments
website.
Merrill Edge is available through Merrill Lynch,

Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated (MLPF&S), and

consists of the Merrill Edge Advisory Center (investment

guidance) and self-directed online investing.

Credit Card Benefits for Preferred Rewards


Customers who are primary or co-applicants (not
authorized users) on eligible Bank of America credit
card (card) products and who qualify for benefits may
receive bonus rewards (Rewards Bonus) as a result
of their participation in the Preferred Rewards program
(program). Rewards Bonus levels are as follows: 25%
for the Gold tier; 50% for the Platinum tier; and 75%
for the Platinum Honors tier. Only one Rewards Bonus
will be awarded per card account. If more than one
cardholder on an individual card account is enrolled in
the program, the account will receive the Rewards Bonus
percentage for the higher tier. Customers can receive
their Rewards Bonus in two different ways:
Monthly Rewards Bonus Eligible card accounts other
than the cash rewards card described below will be
awarded the Rewards Bonus each monthly billing cycle
based on the amount of base rewards earned (excluding
any other bonus rewards earned) with the card that billing
cycle. For BankAmericard Travel Rewards accounts, the
Rewards Bonus replaces the Customer Bonus that they
currently receive with the card.
Rewards Bonus at Redemption BankAmericard Cash
Rewards cardholders that currently receive a bonus
for redeeming their rewards into a Bank of America
checking or savings account or a Merrill Lynch Cash
Management Account (collectively, eligible accounts)
will receive the applicable Rewards Bonus percentage
described above on such redemptions instead of their
existing bonus. In addition, BankAmericard Privileges
with Cash Rewards cardholders who are enrolled in the

Card account must be open and in good standing, as defined


by the account Reward Program Rules, to be eligible for the
Rewards Bonus. Certain Bank of America card programs are
excluded from this benefit, including:
All BankAmericard Privileges(excluding Cash Rewards
customers in Platinum Honors tier), Bank of America
Accolades, Better Balance Rewards, all Merrill Lynch or
U.S. Trust branded, airline, cruise and certain other third party
rewards, business-purpose and all non-rewards cards. Please

have enough money in your account to cover it. You
may incur fees from the merchant or other party you
were trying to pay when the check is returned.

Other Important Account Information for SafeBalance Banking

NOTE: The following two questions amend the


Insufficient Funds Overdrafts and Returned Items
section of the Deposit Agreement and Disclosures. That
section is deleted and replaced with the information in
these two questions.

withdrawals, and authorization holds we place on the


account for debit card transactions. We may also treat
as an insufficient funds item each fee that creates
an overdraft and each deposited item returned to us
unpaid that creates an overdraft.
Here is an example of how your account might still
become overdrawn. You use your debit card to pay for
your meal at a restaurant. The restaurant asks us to
authorize the transaction for the amount of the meal.
We authorize the transaction because we determine
you have enough available funds in your account at this
time. However, if you decide to use your debit card to
leave a tip and add the amount of the tip to the cost
of the meal, that will increase the total amount of the
transaction. When the transaction is processed that
night, you may not have enough funds in your account
to cover the increased amount of the transaction and
it will overdraw your account. This means, unless
you promptly transfer or deposit enough available
funds, when we receive the debit card transaction, it
will overdraw your account. However, you will not be
charged an overdraft fee by the Bank.

My account is overdrawn. I thought I could not


overdraft my SafeBalance Banking account?

What overdraft setting is applied to the


SafeBalance Banking account?

While we attempt to limit overdrafts on your


SafeBalance Banking account, at times overdrafts
still occur. When we determine that you do not have
enough available funds in your account to cover an
item, then we consider the item to be an insufficient
funds item. Without notice to you, we may overdraw
your account (an overdraft item) or we decline or return
the insufficient funds item without payment (a returned
item). We will not charge you an Overdraft or NSF:
Returned Item Fee or an Extended Overdrawn Balance
Charge if this happens. However, you may be assessed
a fee by the merchant. If we overdraw your account, you
agree to repay us immediately, without notice or demand
from us. We ordinarily use deposits you or others
make to your account to pay overdrafts, fees and other
amounts you owe us.
Sometimes funds in your account are not available to
cover your items. When we determine that funds in
your account are subject to a hold, dispute, or legal
process, then these funds are not available to cover
your items. We usually make this determination once at
the end of the day when we process items. Examples
of holds include deposit holds, holds related to cash

We automatically apply our Decline All transactions


overdraft setting to your SafeBalance Banking account.
With the Decline All transactions overdraft setting,
we do not authorize or pay any transaction unless we
determine that at the time of the transaction you appear
to have enough available funds in your account to cover
the transaction. This means that we will decline or
return these transactions unpaid. You may be assessed
a fee by the merchant if this happens.

This section covers some of the features and services


that may apply to your account and amends certain
sections of the Deposit Agreement and Disclosures.

How does the Deposit Agreement and


Disclosures apply to my SafeBalance Banking
account?
In addition to the terms in this schedule of fees, the
terms in the Deposit Agreement and Disclosures, the
signature card for your account and the other account
opening documents govern your account and are part
of the binding contract between you and us for your
account. Please read these documents carefully.
Certain sections of the Deposit Agreement and
Disclosures that are changed are noted in this section
and in the Overview.

What happens if a merchant wants to use my


account number and routing number for a
payment?
Be careful when you give out your account number
and routing number to an originator that you authorize
to process debits from your account. At times, an
originator may process such a payment as a check and
submit it to us instead of an ACH (Automated Clearing
House) transaction. Those checks will be rejected and
not paid. You may be charged a fee by the originator
if this happens. If you give anyone your account
number and routing number, make sure it is for an ACH

transaction only. You may want to ask if the merchant


can use your debit card number instead. Please see
the Deposit Agreement and Disclosures for more details
about ACH transactions.

How do I pay my bills if I dont have checks?


What if I need to write a check?
You can pay bills using our Online and Mobile Bill Pay
service or transfers, your debit card, cash, or by making
electronic payments. If you find that you need to write
checks on a regular basis and these alternatives do
not work for you, you may need a traditional checking
account that offers check-writing capability. Cashiers
checks are also available for a fee in our financial
centers.

What happens if my employer asks for a voided


check for direct deposit?
Since the SafeBalance Banking account does not
include checks, you cannot provide a voided check. You
can provide the account number and routing number
and indicate that it is a checking account so that your
employer can set up a direct deposit to your account.
Or, you can complete the printable enrollment form in
Online Banking. You can also ask us for a direct deposit
enrollment form that you can provide to your employer.

How does Online and Mobile Bill Pay work


with the SafeBalance Banking account?
SafeBalance Banking accounts have different Bill Pay
features than traditional checking accounts. When you
use Online and Mobile Bill Pay with your SafeBalance
Banking account, payments will be withdrawn from your
account before delivery to the payee. The date that
payments will be withdrawn from your account and the
delivery date of the payments will be shown in Online
Bill Pay. If there are not enough funds in your account
when we attempt to withdraw the payment amount, the
payment will not be sent. Please refer to the Online
Banking Service Agreement for more details on how Bill
Pay works for SafeBalance Banking accounts.

What happens if I want a different account


instead of my SafeBalance Banking account?
To change to a different account type, you must open
a new checking account. If you choose to open a new
checking account, you will be assigned a new account
5

number. This will impact any situation where you use


your account number, such as any direct deposits to
or automatic withdrawals from your account. You will
need to provide the updated account number to any
third parties that you gave the original account number
to for payments or direct deposits. You can close your
SafeBalance Banking account but keep in mind any
payments that may be outstanding; these payments
may be rejected. Please look closely at the terms and
conditions of your new account since important features
such as fees and overdrafts will change.
If you use our Online and Mobile Bill Pay service,
payments will be made differently. Please see the
Online Banking Service Agreement for more details.

What happens if I want a SafeBalance Banking


account instead of my current account?
You must open a new SafeBalance Banking account.
If you choose to do this you will be assigned a new
account number for your new SafeBalance Banking
account. This will impact any situation where you use
your account number, such as any direct deposits to
or automatic withdrawals from your account. You will
need to provide the updated account number to any
third parties you gave the original account number to
for payments or direct deposits. You can close your
existing account but keep in mind any checks or other
payments that may be outstanding.
Some other important things to know about
SafeBalance Banking include:

s You cannot write paper checks with the SafeBalance


Banking account. Please see the account description
on page 2 for more details and restrictions.

s You cannot use checks from your existing account


with your SafeBalance Banking account and any
outstanding checks will not be paid once the existing
account is closed. This may result in fees assessed by
merchants for returned items (bounced check fees).

s Overdrafts will typically not be paid on your new


SafeBalance Banking account. If you do not have
sufficient funds in your account to cover an item,
the item will usually be returned unpaid. You may
be assessed a fee by a merchant if this happens.
There are circumstances when an overdraft will occur.

Please see the other questions in this section for


more details on how that can happen.

Keep the Change


Savings Service

s You will have a separate statement for your


SafeBalance Banking account.

s If you use our Online and Mobile Bill Pay service with
your new SafeBalance Banking account, payments will
be made differently. Please see How does Online
and Mobile Bill Pay work with the SafeBalance Banking
account on page 5.
Please review the product description on page 2 and

When you enroll in our Keep the Change savings


service, we round up the amount of any Bank of America
debit card purchase made by you or a joint owner of
your SafeBalance Banking account to the next whole
dollar amount, and transfer the amount in excess of the
purchase price to your savings account.1
We aggregate the round-up from purchases that post
to your SafeBalance Banking account each business
day and make a single transfer (the Keep the
Change transfer) at the end of the business day. If
on a business day you do not have sufficient available
funds in your SafeBalance Banking account, or if any
transaction has overdrawn your checking account,
we do not round-up purchases posted on that business
day and we cancel the Keep the Change transfer for
that day.
If your debit card purchase is subsequently cancelled or
reversed, the corresponding Keep the Change transfer
will remain in the savings account.1 We may cancel or
modify the Keep the Change service at any time.

What happens if I have to choose between


Checking and Savings to start a transaction?
Please choose Checking if you are trying to access
your SafeBalance Banking account. While the
SafeBalance Banking account does not have paper
checks, choosing this option will allow you to access the
funds in your SafeBalance Banking account if you are at
an ATM or need to complete a deposit slip.

Can I combine my SafeBalance Banking account


statement with my other deposit account
statements?
No, combined statements are not available with
the SafeBalance Banking account. The Combined
Statements section of the Deposit Agreement and
Disclosures is amended accordingly.

1 If

your savings account enrolled in Keep the Change


is converted to a checking account, Keep the Change
transfers will continue to be made into that account.
Should you have any questions on the Keep the
Change program, please contact your nearest financial
center.

What does it mean to link accounts for pricing?


Some of Bank of Americas accounts can be linked for
pricing. However, the SafeBalance Banking account
cannot be linked to any other account for pricing
purposes. If you have another account with Bank of
America, like a CD or savings account, you wont be able
to link it to the SafeBalance Banking account for pricing
purposes. The Combined Balance Service and Limits
on Linking Accounts sections of the Deposit Agreement
and Disclosures do not apply to the SafeBalance
Banking account.

Keep the Change Patent No. US 8,301,530B2.

What are paperless statements?


With the paperless statement option, you get your
account statement electronically through Online Banking
and you do not get a paper statement. You can enroll
in paperless statements at a financial center or
through Online Banking. When you enroll at a financial
center, youll need to log into Online Banking from your
computer to confirm your choice.
