Avoiding Fees
There is an account with no monthly fees, we’re not sure if they charge any early account termination fee or not. Given that there is no monthly fee, you’d be better off keeping the account open for at least six months.

Anyone who wants to may mention my name: Joel Meltzer. Thanks!
Hi Joel, do you know if it’s a hard or soft pull to open account? Any credit card funding allowed? What about meeting the direct deposit requirement? I’m sure answering these questions will help readers and they’ll be more likely to mention your name :).
