Our Verdict
Update: Hard pull to open so not worth it for most people.
Seems like a good bonus if it’s a soft pull to open. It’s also nice to have an account that earns 5% APY, although you will need to complete 10 point of sale transactions to keep it fee free so not technically no requirements. Although meeting debit card requirements is relatively easy (ideas on how to do that here).
