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

That is what that amounts to, right? I agree with Tim: As long as account holders are in the black, the bank owes them, not the reverse.
People can vote with their feet, find another bank, stuff their mattresses or whatever. I'm not defending BoA so much as pointing out the obvious.

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.

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

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.
