Avoiding Fees
Blue Hill Bank offers a free checking account, the only requirement is that you must open it with at least $10. Their fee schedule says that there is an early account termination fee of $25 if the account is closed within 90 days.
Our Verdict
They have offered a $200 bonus in the past, they used to allow up to $10,000 in credit card funding but that was reduced to $1,000. Still this is a good deal, easy to keep the account fee free and the bonus requirements aren’t too hard either. The $1,000 in credit card funding is just a bonus. Because of these reasons we’ve added this bonus to our list of the best checking account sign up offers.
