Avoiding Fees
Monthly Fees
None of the accounts have monthly fees as far as I can see.
Early Account Termination Fee
Wasn’t able to find a fee schedule so unsure if any EATF applies.

Can’t imagine many people will be eligible for this, if anybody is then please share your experiences in the comments below.
