Did you notice the following -
* Customers who access Wachovia Online Banking directly through personal
financial management software and have an active Crown Select, Crown
Classic, Crown Banking, Crown Access, Crown Regular, Crown Interest, Custom
Banking, Performance Banking or Command Asset Program will not be charged.
If you have any of the above types of accounts you will not be charged. It
may be worth your while to look into moving to one of these accounts. In
most cases you can qualify based on credit line, like a credit card or home
equity line. You do not need to carry any balance at all you just need to
have the credit line "available". I have a credit card and a home equity
line of credit with Wachovia that I have NEVER used but it gets me a Crown
Select account with no fees.
