Free banking instead of fee banking?

You've never seen a bank like this!

At Paramount Bank we refuse to nickel and dime our busi-
ness customers for things like deposit slips, deposit items or
"teller transactions."

Nor do we charge them for printing checks, wiring
money within the U.S., or for just being our customer
that month.

your current bank one final fee.
