Verdict
Capital One Business Checking
Capital One Business Basic ($15/mo, waived at $2,000 avg ledger) and Enhanced ($35/mo, waived at $25,000) are non-interest checking at Capital One, N.A. with unlimited fee-free digital transactions — a structural advantage over item-metered big-bank accounts. Cash splits by tier: Basic gives $5k free teller cash then $1/$1k (ATM cash at Cap One/select Allpoint exempt); Enhanced is $0 cash but designed for under $40k/month. Wires: Basic $15 in/$25 out domestic; Enhanced free inbound and first 5 outbound domestic. Thin branch network but 70,000+ ATMs. Modest software (QuickBooks feed, no invoicing/Zelle). Use Basic for low-balance digital ops; Enhanced for higher balances, wire volume, and two extra Basics.
Old National Bank Business Checking
Old National Access Business Banking is branch-opened FDIC checking: Access $0 maintenance, 500 items then $0.50, $25k cash free then $0.15/$100. Pro adds $25 fee (waivable at $20k/$50k), bundled Autobooks/Payments Plus, 1 free wire/month, 25 ACH/month. 0% APY. Wires $16 in / $30 out / $50 intl. Full business fee PDF not posted. Fits in-footprint cash SMBs; poor for remote founders and high-volume treasury.
