2/ For Direct Payments Service, see the Business Services Addendum for details on fees and limits.

3/ You may be eligible for higher limits if you add Secured Transfer to receive a one-time passcode on your mobile device or register a USB security key. Higher limits may also apply for Bank of America Private Bank, Merrill or small business accounts.

I barely use BoA anymore, mainly just keep my account open so I can transfer Money in to pay my CC with them.  I now Use Chase for all my ACH needs to get Money elsewhere. Honestly speaking BoA has been on a downward spiral for a while now regarding fees etc.
