Avoiding Fees
Monthly Fees
The fusion checking and cash back checking accounts have no monthly fee. The money market account also has no monthly fees.
Early Account Termination Fee
There is also no mention of any early account termination fee in the fee schedule, but account must be kept open for 90 days to get the bonus. $5 early account termination fee if closed within 90 days
Our Verdict
They have offered a $150 checking bonus in the past. Money market account is probably the easiest account to open to qualify for this bonus. Hard pull probably means it’s not worth doing. Because of that we won’t be adding it to our best bank bonus page.
