Avoiding Fees
I was not able to see what the monthly fees on the signature plus account were because the website is largely unusable. The fine print does state that the account must be kept open for at least 90 days.
Our Verdict
This seems like a great bonus, especially if you can refer a few friends. Their website sucks though, almost all pages just say “We currently don’t have any jobs available.”, which is fine except that I am clicking the personal banking tab and not trying to look for jobs.
If I lived in Georgia I’d definitely be doing some extra research to find out if this was a hard or soft pull and what triggered the direct deposit requirement. Feel free to share your referral links in the comment, but make sure you also let us know if it’s a hard or soft pull to open this account.
