I used to have an Wachovia Essential Checking account. It provided with free access to Online Banking with BillPay, free Balance Alerts, Online Statements, and Wachovia Mobile® note. They had no monthly service charge and no minimum balance. And no direct deposit was required. Now that Wells Fargo merged with Wachovia, they called this grandfathered account Wells Fargo Essential Checking.
