Early Account Termination Fee

There is a $10 fee if closed within one year according to the fee schedule.

Our Verdict

Terms state you need to bring in the flyer, but in practice that isn’t enforced. Seems it might be possible to open via the phone as well. Overall bonus seems fantastic and very easy to earn. This will be added to the best bank account bonuses.
