Foundation Benefits with BaZing
Do the math

Most banks charge you to hold your money. We pay you to keep it here.

A typical checking account quietly charges you fees every month. Foundation Benefits is the opposite — keep a $1,000 daily balance and there's no monthly service charge, plus it pays you on a $15,000 balance.
