Avoiding Fees
Monthly Fees
The focus checking account has no monthly fees to worry about.
Early Account Termination Fee
I wasn’t able to find a fee schedule.
Our Verdict
Previously they have offered a $100 bonus but that required a direct deposit. This is a much better deal, feel free to share your referrals in the comments below just make sure to also let us know if it’s a hard or soft pull to open the account.
