Avoiding Fees

Monthly Fees

Neither of these accounts have any monthly fees to worry about.

Early Account Termination Fee

I wasn’t able to find any fee schedule, so I’m unsure if there is any early account termination fee or not.

Our Verdict

Previous best deal was $100. This offer is significantly better. I do think this one is worth doing if you live in an eligible area, looks like you can also join by donating $5 to an organization but I think it’s still restricted to just KS & OK. I’ll be adding this to our list of the best checking bonuses.
