    How do I choose the best transaction plan?

    Choose your transaction plan based on the number of transactions you make each month and the balance you usually maintain in your everyday account.

    For example, if you make few transactions with your everyday account, the Basic plan could meet your needs with its 12 transactions included. If you need more flexibility, a plan with unlimited monthly transactions such as the Unlimited or Unlimited Plus might suit you better.
