Avoiding Fees
FNCB has a free checking account (Simply Free) which qualifies for this bonus, there are no requirements to keep that account fee free. They don’t make their fee schedule publicly available so I am not sure if there is any early account termination fee or not.
Our Verdict
At most you could get ~$100 in value if you planned on purchasing two of these Fire tablets anyway, but you’d need one person with an account already. FNCB have offered a $100 cash bonus in the past, so I’d just wait for that to come back. We haven’t added this to our list of the best bank bonuses because of this.
