Avoiding Fees
They offer a totally free checking account with no monthly fees to worry about. I wasn’t able to see any mention of any early account termination fee in their fee schedule.
Our Verdict
Obviously a very limited bonus, not worth it given that it’s a hard pull as well. If anybody gives it a try then please share your data points in the comments. As always you can view the best checking promos here.
