Early Account Termination Fee

Our Verdict
It looks like some readers that did the $150 checking bonus have also been targeted for this easy $100 savings bonus. I think this bonus is definitely worth doing, requirements are super easy to meet and no monthly fees to worry about. If it wasn’t targeted it would definitely be added to our best savings bonus page.

The savings account has a $6 monthly fee if you don’t keep a $100 minimum daily balance. I pulled all my money out after the bonus hit and have been procrastinating with closing the account. I was just dinged with a $6 fee.
Bonus paid out for me 1/8. I was targetted.
Opened account 11/1 with $500 opening deposit. Bonus paid 1/9.
Did the $150 bonus earlier this year and got the email for this early last week and signed up. Sent them a check from CapOne360 to fund $500 on 10/2. Account was approved but they need to talk to me again when I return Stateside. Will report back once the bonus hits.
Opened account on: 10/2/18
Funded account via CO360: 10/13/18
$100.00 bonus received: 12/12/18
FYI – It can be a pain to deal with Fulton Bank. I went for the checking bonus last year and they insist that you come into a branch to fill out a signature card. Wouldn’t let me open the account without it.
