Avoiding Fees

This account has a $4 fee that you cannot avoid, you’ll be charged an additional $5 per month if you choose to receive a paper statement as well. You must keep the account open for a minimum of 90 days otherwise you will forfeit the bonus.

Our Verdict

Great deal, you’ll need to keep the account open for six months so you’ll end up paying $24 in monthly fees but this account has no bonus requirements at all. Their sister bank (KS, MO, NE, IA, WY, CO) has a similar bonus for $100 and it’s possible to do both if you’re in an overlapping state.

This is the best bonus they have offered (previous bonuses can be seen here). This will obviously be added to our list of the best bank account bonuses available.
