Each amount links to the fee schedule it was read from. Medians for Ohio, the Cleveland district and the U.S.: Bank Fee Index published fees, shown where at least 5 institutions publish the fee.

Compared at: The value this page compares: its one price, or the middle of its prices when it lists several (the highest, its standard fee, for overdraft).
Same rules: Its fees and every median use the same rules. Business-only fees are left out. So are CD, IRA, card inactivity, box drilling and key fees filed under a fee they don’t match, and fees charged by a different period than the median (a quarterly fee beside monthly ones).
Ohio: Banks and credit unions headquartered in Ohio that publish the fee.
Cleveland district: Banks and credit unions headquartered in the Cleveland Fed district that publish the fee.
U.S.: Banks and credit unions across the Bank Fee Index that publish the fee.
About the same: Within 1% of the median.
Account: Fees not tied to a named account apply across its personal accounts.

How peers are chosen and counted

Every set except Home metro keeps the institution's own charter: banks against banks, credit unions against credit unions.
The set shown first is the first in the list with a peer median for each overdraft and monthly maintenance fee this institution publishes. If none has them all, it is the set with the most.
Closest in assets takes the institutions nearest its total assets among those that publish fees.
Home metro is the metro where it has the most branches. It counts the banks with a branch there (FDIC Summary of Deposits) and the credit unions with a branch in one of the metro's cities (NCUA). Banks only leaves the credit unions out.
State and Fed district count institutions headquartered there. Size uses its asset-size band.
Regulator uses the bank's primary federal regulator; for a credit union, its federal or state charter.
A set lists the institutions that publish at least one fee. This institution is not counted in its own set.
Each institution counts once per fee: the middle of its prices, or for overdraft its highest.
A peer median needs at least 8 peers that publish the fee. With fewer, the fee reads "too few to compare".
A fee an institution does not publish is shown as not published, never as zero.
About the same: within 1% of the median, in this section and everywhere on this page. Above or below means further than that.
A set with more than 50 peers shows the 50 closest in assets. Its medians and counts still use every peer in the set.
