Avoiding Fees
Monthly Fees
This account has a $4.95 fee that cannot be waived
Early Account Termination Fee
I wasn’t able to find any mention of an early account termination fee in the fee schedule
Our Verdict
Not much time to open the account and complete the direct deposit, so if interested I’d recommend signing up now. It’s annoying you can’t avoid the $4.95 fee, but given there is no early account termination fee and the bonus posts quickly it doesn’t matter too much. Not really worth considering due to the hard pull unfortunately.
