Does Illinois prohibit charging dormancy fees on minor accounts?

Under Section 45.1 of the Illinois Banking Act, the same rules and regulations that apply to an account held by an adult apply to an account held by a minor. 205 ILCS 5/45.1. And, Illinois law permits a bank to determine an appropriate dormancy fee in accordance with the bank’s prudent business judgment and safe and sound operating standards. 205 ILCS 5/5e(b). Further, the Uniform Disposition of Unclaimed Property Act [Repealed effective 1/1/18] allows the bank to withhold any lawful charges, including dormancy fees agreed to by the customer, from abandoned property. 765 ILCS 1025/2(a) [Repealed effective 1/1/18]. (The regulations set out specific requirements that banks must meet before withholding such charges from unclaimed property they are required to remit to the state. 74 Ill. Adm. Code 760.60.)
