Requests to re-open a checking account (that was originally established using our mobile banking platform) after it has been closed by the Bank or customer are subject to Bank review and approval. If, at the Bank’s discretion, a re-opening request is honored, depending on the product type, a re-opening fee may be deducted from the account, which may cause your balance to fall below the minimum needed to avoid the Monthly Account Maintenance Fee. The Bank is under no obligation to honor a re-opening request, and not all accounts will qualify for re-opening. Please refer to your product specific Annual Percentage Yield and Account Terms Disclosure to determine if this fee applies to your account.
