Avoiding Fees
Monthly Fees
easyChecking has no monthly fees to worry about
Early Account Termination Fee
I wasn’t able to find a fee schedule, so unsure if there is any early account termination fee or not.
Our Verdict
Not worth doing due to the fact it’s a hard pull to open unfortunately. Because of that we will not be adding it to the best bank bonus page.
