Early Account Termination Fee

Our Verdict
Relatively small bonus, probably not worth it for most people but it’s nice that they also donate $100 to charity. That being said considering it’s a soft pull and there’s a small amount of credit card funding we will be adding this to our list of the best checking bonuses.
