Avoiding Fees
None of the accounts we recommend have any monthly fees, not sure if any early account termination fee is charged or not but given they earn high APYs and have no monthly fees I’m not sure why you’d want to close them.
Our Verdict
Blue Federal has two accounts that we’ve covered before:
- Blue Federal Credit Union 4% APY Account (Up To $15,000)
- Blue Federal Credit Union 4.99% APY Account (Up To $1,000)
Both would qualify for this bonus. Not sure if credit card funding will work in branch or not. Still I’d definitely sign up for one of these accounts if I lived close to either of those branches. Worth calling to make sure the promo still live before heading in. If you find out it isn’t, let us know in the comments. I won’t add this to our best bonus list because it’s so limited.
