The Offer
- Financial Resources Federal Credit Union is offering a monthly bonus of $10 when you receive a monthly direct deposit of $1,000 or more when you open a Hero Account. In addition they will donate $50 to a local Veteran Service Organization
The Fine Print
- All bank account bonuses are treated as income/interest and as such you have to pay taxes on them
Avoiding Fees
Monthly Fees
This account has no monthly fees to worry about
Early Account Termination Fee
I wasn’t able to find an early account termination fee in the fee schedule.
Our Verdict
Need to know if it’s a hard or soft pull to open. Probably not worth doing anyway as it requires an ongoing direct deposit and it’s only $10 per month, but might be worth considering for some people.
