Avoiding Fees

This account has a $24 monthly fee, this is waived if you do any of the following:

• Maintain Average Available Balance of at least $5,000
• Total Relationship Balances of at least $25,000
• At least $4,000 in total Direct Deposits

Early Account Termination Fee

There is no early account termination fee.

Our Verdict

Requirements seem the same as when it was a $600 bonus. Don’t think it’s worth doing due to the previous much bigger bonus. We won’t add this to our checking bonuses.
