Avoiding Fees
You will forfeit any dividend payments (including the bonus they pay you) if you close your account within six months. There is no monthly fee as long as you open the regular checking account.
Our Verdict
This seems like a pretty easy checking bonus to complete, you only need to open the account and there are no monthly fees to avoid. I have two concerns though:
- It might be a hard pull to open/join the credit union
- There might be hidden requirements that are not listed on the website
I don’t live within the service area, otherwise I would probably go into one of their branches to find out if there are any other requirements and if it is a hard pull. If you do live within the service area and find out the answers to any of these questions then please let us know in the comments section.
