Avoiding Fees

Monthly Fees

This account has no monthly fee to worry about

Early Account Termination Fee

I wasn’t able to find a fee schedule, so I’m unsure if there is an early account termination fee

Our Verdict

Great bonus especially as it says any ACH transfer will work. Previously this was only for $150 so this is a huge increase. Wouldn’t be terribly surprised if this was pulled early.
