Not that I think they would be silly enough anyway, but this makes it even less likely. I would react in exactly the same way. Banks often forget their place: as long as we're in the black, it's them that owe us money.
Too many people do not understand how banks work, that banks do not simply stuff account holders money in a mattress and sit on it until people ask them to return some of it: They invest their account holders money and earn interest on those investments. Why should people pay fees for the "privilege" of letting someone else turn a profit with their money? It may not work in healthcare, but this is one area where fee-for-service charging is a good idea.

Yeah, do more of what made folks mad enough to pass a federal law and kill your stock price.

Hopefully this means no-one will dare do that here, having seen the reaction.

Maintaining a modest sum of money in checking/savings/CDs obviates this charge and most others

Right. It's not an issue if the combined total meets BoAs requirement.

Yes, but griping about pains arising from symptoms does nothing to cure the disease.

As long as account holders indefinitely surrender enough of their money for the bank to invest?

No. I mean BoA doesn't want to have clients who cost money rather than make money for the bank.

Well, charging people $5/month to use their own money will not accomplish that goal.

Sure it will. They'll pay the fees or they'll leave. Either way BoA wins on that front.

I suppose, if turning the departure of account holders into a stampede counts as "winning."

If it's limited to the targeted account holders, the unprofitable ones, then it is winning.

But the targeting is determined by how much money account holders semi-permanently loan banks.
