Avoiding Fees
Monthly Fees
Small business checking has no monthly fees to worry about.
Early Account Termination Fee
I wasn’t able to find a fee schedule so unsure if there is any early account termination fee or not.
Our Verdict
Not sure how easy/difficult it is to get approved unfortunately. We will add this to our best bank account bonus page.
