A high-balance operating account for clients who keep material liquidity at Sky: disclosed allowances for wires and rush payments, limits structured for larger movement of funds, and Private Client teams that route Treasury and service requests with your Premier package in view.
$200k waiver path
Maintenance waives when combined qualifying balances meet the Premier threshold in your guide.
Stated allowances
Bundled wire or rush payment benefits print in the Schedule of Fees, not in marketing footnotes.
Treasury cutoffs in app
Same-day and international windows follow published cutoffs you can see before you submit.
Premier documentation
Your Premier Product Guide governs fees, limits, and escalation so teams speak from one book.
Sky Premier Checking is not a dressed-up retail account. It assumes you keep qualifying deposits and eligible investments at Sky at a level that supports waived maintenance, disclosed allowances, and servicing cues tuned to movement of money, not just card swipes. Everything below maps to the Premier Product Guide and Schedule of Fees you receive at account opening.
$200k
Typical combined balance target for a $0 maintenance month
$35
Monthly service if waiver criteria are not met, unless your guide states otherwise
Allowances
Wires, rush payments, and other benefits itemized in your fee schedule, not implied in copy
The Premier Visa® debit you receive is configured for the limits, travel patterns, and digital wallet setup described in your package. Card art is a small part of the story; the important part is what your guide authorizes for daily spend, international use, and instant tokenization.
Three workstreams most Premier clients use in parallel. They are separate from Sky Private Checking, which targets a lower combined-balance waiver and a different service bundle.
When your package includes wire or expedited payment benefits, the number of no-fee or reduced-fee events, the applicable calendar, and any cap on value appear in the Schedule of Fees. Allowances that do not roll month to month are labeled that way. Nothing here is a marketing promise; it is a line item.
Card and ACH limits are set to support household or business cash flow you document at onboarding. Material changes go through secure channels and may require refreshed paperwork.
Treasury posts same-day and international cutoffs in digital banking. For time-sensitive movement, Private Client Service can confirm the window before you commit funds.
Use this three-way snapshot when you are deciding where to anchor operating cash. Final pricing and features always come from the product guide for the state and profile you open under.

Premier servicing assumes inbound wires, outbound wires, and internal sweeps sometimes land on the same afternoon. Teams reference your executed agreements, not a generic ticket queue, when cutoffs are tight or approvals need to be simultaneous.
After your Premier Product Guide is executed, teams follow a defined sequence so waivers, allowances, and escalations stay traceable in audit requests and statement reviews.
Treasury-quality worksheets confirm which deposits and investments count toward the $200,000 threshold so your maintenance line on statements matches what you signed.
Each bundled benefit posts against the counters defined in your Schedule of Fees. When you approach a limit, alerts fire before the fee prints.
When liquidity moves influence lending covenants or trust distributions, bankers conference in the right specialists instead of handing off cold.
Debit locks, merchant controls, and fraud alerts stay available through the same Sky digital channels; Premier pairs them with higher default limits where your package allows.
Authorization ceilings, allowance counters, and Treasury cutoffs surface in the same Sky mobile and online experience you use for the rest of your relationship. You do not maintain a separate app stack because balances moved into Premier.
Premier Checking is typically positioned as an operating hub; meaningful yield usually sits in companion savings or investment tiers referenced in your disclosures. Allowances for wires are not a substitute for portfolio return.
APYs are variable, may change at any time after account opening, and are accurate only as of the date printed on your Truth in Savings disclosure. Higher relationship tiers and combined balances may qualify for improved yields where offered.
You will receive the rate in effect on the business day your account is opened. Existing clients can view personalized tiers after signing in.
The authoritative source for your account is the Schedule of Fees delivered at opening. Below is a summary in plain language of categories clients ask about most often.
Sky Premier Checking maintenance is $0.00 when combined qualifying deposits and eligible investments total at least $200,000, or $35.00 per month otherwise. Premier allowances for wires or expedited payments are separate line items in your Schedule of Fees.
Where available, overdraft transfer from linked accounts or a disclosed overdraft line may help you avoid returned payments. Regulation E governs opt-in for certain ATM and one-time debit overdrafts. You choose what you want enabled.
Domestic and international wires, and certain expedited payment options, may carry disclosed fees. Private clients may receive fee allowances or preferred pricing based on relationship tier.
