(1) For free services, this number of subscribers isn’t particularly meaningful. Number of users is a far better gauge. But of the five, only BankBoston has reported regular users, which are 50-60% of subscribers.

(2) Monthly fee for lowest priced online option. Some charge additional fees for access through Quicken or Money.

(3) Bill pay is optional. The fee is waived at Wells with a $5,000 deposit balance and at Nations and BankBoston with premium checking accts. Additional transaction fees may apply for heavy users.
