Frequently asked questions

Start of disclosure content

Disclosures

  1. The Bank Smartly® Checking Account Monthly Maintenance Fee will be waived if the account holder also has a qualifying credit card account. Qualifying credit card accounts include the U.S. Bank Smartly™ Visa Signature® Card and personal State Farm credit cards for Alliance customers. Cards must be open and in good standing (not past due or overlimit) and you are the account owner. If a qualifying credit card is closed at any time, you will no longer be eligible for the monthly maintenance fee waiver associated with this card. No limitation on the number of U.S. Bank Smartly Checking accounts that can receive this benefit.

  2. ATM Transaction Fee. U.S. Bank will assess this fee for each ATM Transaction conducted at the Non-U.S. Bank ATM. This means that you may be charged more than one ATM Transaction fee at a Non-U.S. Bank ATM during a single ATM session. Non-U.S. Bank ATMs are defined as any ATM that does not display the U.S. Bank logo in any manner, physically on the ATM or digitally on the  screen.

    ATM Surcharge. Non-U.S. Bank ATM owners may apply a surcharge fee on ATM transactions at their ATMs. U.S. Bank participates in MoneyPass®, an ATM surcharge free network. To find MoneyPass ATM locations, select “visit the MoneyPass locator” at the bottom of our ATM locator search results to be taken to the MoneyPass website. If you use an ATM that uses the MoneyPass® Network and are charged a surcharge fee, please call us at 800-USBANKS (872-2657) for a refund of the surcharge fee. However, a Non-U.S. Bank ATM Transaction Fee may be assessed on transactions at a MoneyPass ATM.

    Please refer to the Consumer Pricing Information (PDF) disclosure section titled Miscellaneous Checking, Savings or Money Market Fees for a summary of ATM transaction fees.

  3. When changing checking account types, corresponding Non-U.S. Bank ATM transaction fee waivers will become available on the first day of the next statement cycle. ATM transaction fee waivers are only applicable for your U.S. Bank Smartly® Checking accounts.

  4. Exclusive U.S. Bank Smart Rewards® cash back deals are available to U.S. Bank personal credit card members whose accounts are open and in good standing (not past due or overlimit) who: (1) have a U.S. Bank Smartly® Checking account which automatically enrolls the account in Smart Rewards and (2) qualify for the Silver Tier of the program or higher. In addition, exclusive U.S. Bank Smart Rewards® cash back deals are available regardless of tier qualification to U.S. Bank personal card members who identify as part of the following Customer Group segments: Military, Alliance (Including State Farm), Global Transition Solution (Formally Referral Banking) and U.S. Bank Employees. Card members who have both a personal credit card account and a business credit or charge card account with U.S. Bank are not eligible for these offers. Smart Rewards cash back deals appear in online banking and the U.S. Bank mobile app and will change approximately every 45 days. Following automatic enrollment in Smart Rewards program, offers will be made available to eligible card members within 1-2 billing cycles. To access and activate the cash back deals, card members must log in to online banking or the mobile app and select the Smart Rewards cash back deals to activate them. Once the deal or deals are activated, shop online or in store at offer-activated stores using your enrolled U.S. Bank personal credit card at checkout. Terms and conditions applicable to each offer are provided with the offer. Cash back is automatically credited within 1-2 billing cycles to the card or account used to complete the deal. 

  5. The average account balance is calculated by adding the balance at the end of each calendar day in the statement period and dividing that sum by the total number of calendar days within the statement period.

  6. Eligible small business checking accounts include business Silver, Gold, Platinum, Premium, Non-Profit Checking accounts and U.S. Bank Business Essentials® Checking. The Monthly Maintenance Fee waiver is applicable when an account owner maintains an eligible small business checking account, open and in good standing (not in the process of closing).

  7. Overdraft Protection Transfer Fees are waived on U.S. Bank Smartly Checking accounts. If you have linked eligible accounts, and the negative Available Balance in your checking account is $5.01 or more, the advance amount will transfer in multiples of $50. If, however, the negative Available Balance is $5 or less, the amount advanced will be $5. The Overdraft Protection Transfer Fee is waived if the negative Available Balance in your checking account is $50 or less. Please note, if you have Overdraft Protection and your account becomes overdrawn, Overdraft Protection funds will be accessed before the account is eligible for Overdraft Fee Forgiven. No Overdraft Protection Transfer Fee(s) will be charged for transfers from linked deposit accounts.
