Avoiding Fees
They offer a free checking account with no monthly fees or minimums. As far as I know there is no early account termination fee but you do need to keep the account open until the bonus posts.
Our Verdict
Previously they offered a bonus of $150, but that didn’t require a direct deposit. This is an extra $50 but does have that direct deposit requirement, some people will find the old deal better but that’s no longer available. Should also be noted that you can only do this or a S&T bonus. S&T used to be better due to $5,000 credit card funding, but that’s only $100 now and the actual bonus is only for $150 but it can be opened online, that bonus also recently expired so no longer available currently.
We will be adding this bonus to our list of the best bank account bonuses.
