Scores, 0 to 10

7.5Lowest fees

The bank's own page states no monthly account fee. The ceiling here is 7.5 and not 10 because transfer and card prices were not read on that page. It reads: “No minimum to open & no monthly fee: Open your account with no minimum balance and enjoy no monthly fees, giving your non-profit the freedom to allocate funds where they’re needed most.” · source
