1Advantage and Bonus Checking maintenance fees can be offset by the combined average daily balances in the primary owner's Savings, CDs and IRAs. The minimum daily balance is the ledger balance in your account on any calendar day. The average daily balance is calculated by adding the principal in the account for each day of the period and dividing that figure by the number of days in the period. The combined average daily balance is the aggregate average daily balance in the linked accounts.
