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
Neither account has any monthly fees to worry about.
Early Account Termination Fee
Unsure if there is any EATF.
Our Verdict
Bit annoying that it needs the debit card purchases and a direct deposit.
