Key Factors Leading Us to Rank This Firm as One of This Year’s Top Banking Firms
Upon completing our detailed reviews, Commerce Bank was included in AdvisoryHQ’s ranking of this year’s best banking firms based on the following factors.Â
Commerce Bank Review: Build Your Own Checking
Something Commerce does differently than many other banks is in providing the opportunity to “build your own” checking account. First, customers identify whether or not they’ll be able to avoid a monthly service charge. One way to avoid a service charge is by having a monthly direct deposit of at least $500, and another is by using a debit card at least 30 times a month.
Then, new customers can select from the options they’ll use, including an automatic savings plan, online banking, online bill pay, ID theft service, overdraft service, and email or text alerts.
Then, once the services you’ll use are selected, you can add them to your account, and you’ll be shown if your key features carry any charges. You’ll also see the total cost of maintaining the account you create by customizing the features most valuable to you.
