Avoiding Fees
Monthly Fee
Simply Free Checking account doesn’t have any monthly fees to worry about.
Early Account Termination Fee
I was unable to find a fee schedule so I’m unsure if there is any early account termination fee.
Our Verdict
Gotta love bonuses without any requirements. Definitely worth doing if it’s a soft pull, you can generally ask in branch before you sign up (please share if you do ask, along with whether it did or didn’t cause a hard pull). I doubt you can fund with a credit card due to the fact it’s in branch. I’ll be adding this to the best bank bonuses if it is a soft pull. Keep in mind it’s not valid for long.
