> their bank transfer charges are proportional to amount transferred instead of standard flat fee.

I don't think that is true. From everything I've seen they only charge a nominal fee of 15 cents to do an ACH transfer.

There is a $0.15 minimum in the US, but they will take the max of that or 1.49% (to a bank account) [1]. Different countries and output methods vary, but most are proportional to the amount transferred.

The fee is not on the transfer, but on the conversion.

ACH deposit to USD wallet is free. Converting that USD to BTC or ETH is where the fee comes in. (Why one would want to deposit USD at Coinbase and leave it there, though, is another question...)

You deposit on Coinbase and the transfer to Gdax where you can place post only limit orders which have zero fee

Right, I just learned of GDAX. I have money at Coinbase and will be taking advantage of this in the future! Thanks for confirming what I heard.
