Our Take
Regions designs its waivers around behavior instead of balances, which suits real small businesses: swipe the debit card or scan one Quick Deposit and the fee disappears. Advantage is the standout, with 500 items and $20,000 of cash handling for a fee most active businesses will never actually pay. If you are in the South and cash-oriented, Regions belongs on the shortlist.
Best for: Southern businesses that prefer activity-based waivers over balance minimums
