It is the discretion of the bank as to what their policy is. I have a US bank account and most in my area do no charge me although one branch will. Same thing with bank of the west. I have 2 that I order from and 4 others that say they will charge me. Wells Fargo.....same thing.
I have learned it is never a one rule fits all for a certain bank. Try other branchesand I think you will be surprised.
