Avoiding Fees
Monthly Fees
Simply Checking has no monthly fee to worry about.
Early Account Termination Fee
I wasn’t able to find a full fee schedule so I’m unsure if there is any early account termination fee or not.
Our Verdict
Not the strongest offer given it’s only for $100 and must be opened in branch, still might be worth doing for some people. Will add it to our list of the best bank bonuses due to the fact it’s a soft pull to open.

Opened the Simple Checking acct last week in branch. Very easy, took about 25 min.
Hard/soft pull?
No alerts on my Big 3 so I’d assume soft (if any).
Bonus finally posted on 5/15 (just noticed). I was getting a little worried!
2/19 – Account opened in a branch with $25, cash
3/26 – Fidelity ACH of $301.23
4/15 – Fidelity ACH of $301.23 (just in case)
5/15 – Bonus of $100 posted
