Avoiding Fees

Monthly Fees

• Business solutions: No monthly fee with average daily balance in checking of $3,000 or $10,000 in combined eligible linked accounts; $10 monthly fee if balance is $1,000 – $2,999.99; $15 monthly fee if balance is $0 – $999.99
• Business solutions with interest: No monthly fee with average daily balance in checking of $3,000 or $15,000 in combined eligible linked accounts; $10 monthly fee if balance is $1,000 – $2,999.99; $15 monthly fee if balance is $0 – $999.99

Early Account Termination Fee

Bonus is forfeit if account is closed within 180 days

Our Verdict

Unclear what interest rate the business solutions account actually earns. If you put the $25,000 in there for 90 days you’d earn 16% annualized so the deal is worth doing. Just keep in mind you’d need to keep another $3,000 in there for another 90 days to keep the account fee free and avoid the EATF. We will add this to our list of the best bank account bonuses.
