My bank of choice (the others aren’t as good):
Banco de Oro Universal Bank (BDO Unibank)
Initial and maintaining deposit: $100 only (other banks require $200 or $500)
How long before you can withdraw the amount reflected on your check? 60 days
Fees for check deposits: none (other banks charge $15 or so)
