Avoiding Fees
Monthly Fees
They offer a free checking account.
Early Account Termination Fee
I wasn’t able to find a fee schedule so I’m unsure if they charge an early account termination fee or not.
Our Verdict
They offered a $100 bonus in the past, this is basically the same requirements but a slightly bigger payout. Most people won’t be eligible due to the restricted membership unfortunately so we won’t be adding this to our best bank account bonus page.
