Early Account Termination Fee

If you close your account within 180 days then you forfeit the bonus

Our Verdict

The $10,000 deposit being required is annoying, but it doesn’t look like it needs to be kept in there for any amount of time. Still excludes all those without $10,000 in liquid cash. We don’t see a lot of bank bonuses for those in Hawaii though so it is nice to see this one. If it’s a soft pull it might be worth considering. As always please share your experiences in the comments below. I won’t be adding this to the best checking bonus page until we know more.
