The Fine Print

• All bank account bonuses are treated as income/interest and as such you have to pay taxes on them

Avoiding Fees

Monthly Fees

Kasasa cash back checking account has no monthly fees to worry about

Membership Fee

Need to have an immediate family member that is a part of a credit union, work in one of the select employer groups or pay $25 to join the independent cat society

Early Account Termination Fee

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

Our Verdict

Seems to be a good bonus if you’re eligible, but it’s obviously very narrowly targeted. We also don’t know if it’s a hard or soft pull to open the account. If anybody goes for this, please share your experiences in the comments below.
