Monthly Fees
TailorMade Rewards Checking has no monthly fees to worry about.
Early Account Termination Fee
I wasn’t able to find a fee schedule so unsure if there is an early account termination fee or not.
Our Verdict
Need to know if it’s a hard or soft pull, but given it’s a $400 bonus even if it’s a hard pull then this is still a great deal. If anybody goes for this bonus then please share your experiences in the comments below.
