Avoiding Fees

Monthly Fees

This account has no monthly fees to worry about.

Early Account Termination Fee

Account needs to be kept open for six months or an early account termination fee will apply (it doesn’t say what that fee will be).

Our Verdict

Not worth doing as it’s a relatively small bank bonus and it’s also a hard pull to open the account. Because of that I won’t be adding it to the best bank account bonuses.
