Avoiding Fees
Monthly Fees
You can open the Free Plus Checking account and still qualify for this bonus, this account has no monthly fee. CheckIt Savings also has no monthly fees to worry about.
Early Account Termination Fee
I wasn’t able to find any early account termination fee in the fee schedule.
Our Verdict
Much better than the $200 checking bonus currently available in other states. Unfortunately you need to go in branch for this bonus but still worth doing for such a big bonus. We will add this to our list of the best checking account bonuses.
