My credit union started in 2020 (or was in 2019) charging $5/month fees... Kind of annoys me but I do get free checks once a year, free bill pay (which includes mailing payments) and some other bonuses so it's not a huge deal. Still sucks.
Shop around. my CU only requires that members maintain $5 in a savings account. No monthly fees. Generally a bit forgiving with overdrafts which my son is particularly thankful for. (He realizes that if he had an account with a monster mega bank he'd have paid many hundreds of dollars by now with his careless ways.) Don't know about free checks since I have no use for checks with this account but free bill pay including mailing, and an app that, among other functions, I can deposit checks.
