The Offer
- Southern Bank is offering a $250 bonus when you open a new Freedom 250 checking account in branch. Details/requirements unknown
The Fine Print
- All bank account bonuses are treated as income/interest and as such you have to pay taxes on them
Avoiding Fees
Monthly Fees
I don’t see a freedom 250 checking account online so no idea
Early Account Termination Fee
I was unable to find a fee schedule so unsure if there is any EATF or not.
Our Verdict
Literally know nothing about this bonus or bank, so if anybody goes in branch then please share more details in the comments below.
