All bank account bonuses are treated as income/interest and as such you have to pay taxes on them
Avoiding Fees
Monthly Fees
Freedom checking has no monthly fees to worry about as long as you opt in for paperless statements.
Early Account Termination Fee
I wasn’t able to find a fee schedule so unsure if any early account termination fee is charged.
Our Verdict
Seems like a great bonus, the credit card funding is slightly old though so unclear if that will still be the case or not.
