Avoiding Fees
They offer a free checking account with no monthly fee to worry about as long as you sign up for eStatements. There is no early account termination fee, but the account does need to be open at the time of the bonus posting.
Our Verdict
Very nice bonus with no direct deposit required, it’s also significantly better than it once was as you only need to meet the bonus requirements once rather than for multiple months. This is definitely one of the better checking account bonuses currently available. It also looks like it’s no longer necessary to open in branch making the bonus even better.
