Avoiding Fees
Monthly Fees
Smart Start Checking ($100 Bonus)
This account has no monthly fees to worry about
Basic Checking ($150 Bonus)
This account has no monthly fees to worry about
Early Account Termination Fee
Previously they have charged an early account termination fee of $5 if closed within 90 days.
Our Verdict
Not worth considering due to the hard pull. Previously they offered a $150 bonus with no direct deposit requirement as well. I won’t be adding this to the best checking bonuses due to this hard pull.

HP for 150?
I did it last time when they also had a high interest CD that made it worthwhile in total. Easy enough to collect on, no spam from them either like some other FCUs
Been waiting for this to come back, I’m the person who sent it in. Need it for a group I work with (they suck at paying us and we found out we can check when $$ comes in, and get DD/request payment). Keep in mind amex funding tho! I have pretty low life expenses so this is really nice for me, I’ve been avoiding amex since they cracked down on MS in last years.
Just applied and no hard pull. It’s an “identity validation” showed up on Experian, more like a public records thing not like the type of hard inquiry you get normally, no damage to credit. I called them and they confirmed this with me too.
Opened an account during a previous promo, 6/2018, no pull at all for me that I can see. The DP’s on HP’s are from 2016 – I’m not sure they are doing that anymore.
Looks like biz cards not accepted, I can’t get mine to go thru (tried amex and a visa)
Still $1k max funding.
Scratch that, BOA Alaska biz went thru. Capital one spark didn’t nor amex delta biz. Apparently their processor no longer accepts amex and then it blocked subsequent transaction- I had to call in. They reset it, but guy on phone said no amex now.
Also wanted to confirm there was no HP on this.
Got behind on this- Paypal is coding as “ACH”. Any other DP’s?
DP update: the actual deposit hit the next day, says “transfer”. I had to go into trumark today to open an IDA account. I casually asked if my direct deposit had gone thru as I was “switching accounts over” (lol) and when the bonus might post. She confirmed I had a DD on 12/11, and it should post at end of promotion- in late January.
