Answer:
In my opinion you have two options.
- Offer the "Free Checking" as an eStatement only account with no option for paper statements. Then have another product called something else besides "Free Checking" that offers the same features as free checking, but does have paper statements available for a fee.
- Continue to offer a paper statement option for your "Free Checking," but do not charge for it.
