It has a $0 monthly fee, a $0 minimum balance requirement and reimburses ATM fees nationwide, making it easily accessible to all Canadians. However, it's fully digital, so it lacks in-branch services and traditional banking features that National Bank offers, like overdraft protection or cheques.<\/p><\/div><div
