double check your statements now and then - if you don't already. i had a biz acct and my home account, and would get dinged "service charges" on home account if it was below ... $500 for too long. Biz account had 30x that in there - far more than their min requirements, and I was told they were 'linked'. 2x in 3 years, they "got unlinked" and I was getting various $39 service fees on the home account. "Oh, so sorry, here... we linked again - we'll waive the fee"... months later... same thing. Less for you specifically OP and more just a general warning.

Heh, I keep having my auto pay disabled on my card and my wife's card, just one day the card doesn't work and the payment has been missed.
It happens every 10-18 months, enough that I assume there is a substantial amount of money being produced by charging a late fee and interest and people not noticing. They never put it back either, have to call and spend a couple hours with them.
My lease favorite bank.
My bank (BoA) allows me to have multiple checking accounts so long as you satisfy the initial deposit requirement, and maintain sufficient balances in other linked accounts, so this looks like a good way forward. I think I'll switch other apps to use this new receivables account to contain their potential blast radius.
