Capital One 360 Checking — unconditional no-fee account with human support

Does a customer's agent establish from public pages that Capital One 360 Checking has no monthly fee under any condition, no minimum balance, no closing fee and a human reachable by phone or branch — or does it reject or leave the account unresolved on a fee-waiver or support condition?

The customer

Evaluate whether the Capital One 360 Checking account fits a US household that wants a primary checking account with no monthly maintenance fee under any condition (not merely waivable), no minimum balance, no fee to close, and a human reachable by phone or in a branch. Establish each of these from sources you can actually read, quoting the page. Compare with at least two alternatives (for example a large national bank's basic checking and an online-only bank) so the fit judgement is grounded. Do not open, apply for or pre-qualify for anything. If a required fact cannot be established from a readable source, mark it unresolved rather than guessing.

Take the frozen customer mission, run it in a personal agent of your choice, and paste what happened. Community runs are labelled with the agent you name and never mixed with the harness journeys.

Evaluate whether the Capital One 360 Checking account fits a US household that wants a primary checking account with no monthly maintenance fee under any condition (not merely waivable), no minimum balance, no fee to close, and a human reachable by phone or in a branch. Establish each of these from sources you can actually read, quoting the page.

Do not open, apply for or pre-qualify for anything. If a required fact cannot be established from a readable source, mark it unresolved rather than guessing.

Requirements:
- no monthly maintenance fee under any condition — not waived by direct deposit, balance, autopay or paperless enrollment, simply none
- no minimum balance requirement and no fee for falling below a balance
- a human can be reached by phone or in a branch, not app or chat only
- no fee or penalty for closing the account

Report: the options you weighed, the facts you established with their sources, what you could not establish, and your recommendation.

Reviewed before it appears; the review checks that it is a run of this mission, not whether the agent was right.
