Avoiding Fees

Monthly Fees

Free business checking has no monthly fee to worry about (available in all states apart from Wisconsin). Essential business checking account is required in Wisconsin, not sure if this has a monthly fee or not.

Early Account Termination Fee

There is an early account termination fee of $25 if closed within 180 days.

Our Verdict

Definitely worth doing, although I don’t think the additional $100 bonuses are worth it (credit card will be a hard pull, merchant services are never worth doing. Other two might be worth it). I’ll be adding this to our list of the best business checking bonuses.
