I wasn’t able to find out if there is any monthly fee
Early Account Termination Fee
Unsure if there is any early account termination fee or not
Our Verdict
Need to know if this is a hard or soft pull, you should be able to ask before opening the account given that this is available in branch only. We can’t add it to the best checking bonuses until we know more.
