Avoiding Fees

The easiest way to avoid paying any fees is by opening the WB Free Checking account which does not have any monthly fees. You’ll need to keep this account open for six months to get the full bonus, we can’t find their fee schedule by usually 6 months is more than enough to avoid any early account termination fees.

Our Verdict

I doubt many people will be able to take advantage of this as you’ll need to go into the new branches to do so. If you do, make sure you find out if it’s a hard or soft pull. For the rest of you, check out our best bank bonuses and our list of other checking bonuses to find something in your area.
