To open the account you need to have $50 or more deposited, but beyond this there is no minimum balance required. The bank charges a $3 monthly base fee which is waived if you have monthly recurring direct deposits set up OR receive electronic statements.
  • Savings Accounts – the main savings account offered by the bank is its Simplicity Savings account which is similar to its checking account equivalent. This account requires $50 or more to open. Account holders also have to maintain a balance of $300 or more each day, or they will get charged a $3 monthly service charge.

Washington Trust Bank Checking Accounts Review

washington-trust-bank-checking-accounts

The bank offers customers three options for checking accounts, with the Simplicity Checking being the one account that could be considered a free checking account; if customers opt to receive electronic statements, the $3 monthly charge is refunded. The checking account option that is most comparable to the bank’s main competitors is its Preferred Checking account. This account compares quite favorably to the offerings at Bank of America, Chase Bank and Wells Fargo.

This is mainly due to the fact with Washington Trust Bank’s Preferred Checking account, the monthly fee is lower, the account earns interests and also offers each month, one refund of overdraft fee charges and 2 refunds of ATM fees charged for withdrawals conducted at other bank’s ATMs.

In addition, although the bank still charges its customers overdraft fees, it has a higher threshold than most banks. Customers of the bank won’t be charged an overdraft fee unless their account is overdrawn by more than $7. By comparison Wells Fargo starts charging fees when your account is overdrawn by $5.00 and for Bank of America its $1.00.
