Monthly Fees

This account has no monthly fees to worry about

Early Account Termination Fee

I wasn’t able to find a fee schedule so I’m unsure if there is any early account termination fee.

Our Verdict

Seems like a great deal if you live near a branch. I’ll definitely be adding this to our list of the best checking account bonuses.
