Also, when you are a member of the 0 fee accounts, you usually have to deal with a call centre, opposed to a named account manager, for most issues you may have with the account.

The type of people that would benefit the most from these type of accounts would be a consultant. Pay themselves a couple times a month and do everything on-line kinda deal.

Anyone that has more complicated banking requirements is likely to lose the benefit.
Except that isn't the case for all financial institutions, some have none of those limitations. And it is not a virtual bank either.
