Avoiding Fees

Monthly Fees

Regular checking has a $2 monthly fee that is waived with paperless statements.

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

Better than the previous $100 referral bonus.
