I have a question. This is the type of place that I would love to support but I tend to keep my checking account as low as possible and keep my money in investments. Is there any benefit to this business haveing my checking account with a typical balance of $250-$1000? I don't know the banking industry and don't know if small accounts are a benefit or burden. | ||

Any amount is a benefit to a bank. A smaller account balance means less money they have to pay interest on to you. As long as they keep their loan business up, its a win situation for them. With a balance of $250, they'll make more money off the fees they charge you than they'll have to pay you in interest, as well. |
