Monthly Fees

This account has no monthly fees involved from what I can see.

Early Account Termination Fee

I wasn’t able to find a fee schedule online so I’m unsure if there is any early account termination fee.

Our Verdict

Fairly small bonus, especially as it requires in branch opening. Might be worth it for people that have already done all the much bigger/easier bonuses available in that area and live near a branch. As always if anybody goes for it then please share your experiences in the comments below.
