Emma is ready to open a new checking account and is trying to decide between three banks using the chart below:Bank RBank SBank TNo monthly fees if balance stays above $300, otherwise $7 per monthNo monthly fees if check card is used more than 6 times per month, otherwise $10 monthly fee$5 monthly feeNo minimum balance$25 minimum balanceNo minimum balanceOnline banking servicesOnline banking servicesNo online banking optionsNon-Bank R ATM fee - $2.00 per transactionNon-Bank S ATM fee - $1.50 per transactionNon-Bank T ATM fee - $2.00 per transactionEmma usually has about $1000 in her account at any given time during the month. She usually visits the ATM twice a week and is interested in banking online options. Bank R has 10 ATMs within a 5 mile radius of Emma’s home. Bank S has 1 ATM 10 miles from Emma’s work. Which bank should she choose?
Bank R is the best fit because Emma’s usual $1,000 balance is well above its $300 threshold, so she would not pay a monthly fee. It also offers online banking and has 10 ATMs within 5 miles of her home, which is convenient since she visits an ATM twice a week. Bank T has no online banking, and Bank S’s only nearby option is much farther away.
