Avoiding Fees
There are no monthly fees on this account, I’m unsure if they charge any early account termination fees or not due to the fact I can’t find their fee schedule.
Our Verdict
I’d be going for the Uber or Amazon credit if I was in the eligible area. Unfortunately we don’t know if it’s a hard or soft pull to open, but you need to go in branch to sign up anyway so you should be able to ask that question before signing up. If anybody does sign up, please share your datapoints in the comments below.
Due to the unknowns we obviously can’t add it to our best checking promotions yet.
