Avoiding Fees
Monthly Fees
Smart checking account has no monthly fees to worry about
Early Account Termination Fee
According to this fee schedule there is a $5 fee when closing your account, doesn’t seem to be waivable.
Our Verdict
Not to be confused with the PSCU in Colorado. This is a relatively small bonus and there is a $5 closure fee that can’t be avoided, but if you can refer a few people it becomes more interesting. If anybody goes for this bonus then please share your experiences in the comments.
