Avoiding Fees

Monthly Fees

The free checking account has no monthly fees to worry about,as long as you opt-in to e-statements after setting up online banking.

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 or not.

Our Verdict

Deals that seem to be nationwide that shouldn’t really be usually end poorly if I’m being completely honest. This isn’t the biggest bonus to begin with so for most people it won’t be worth it.  If anybody decides to sign up, please share your experiences in the comments below. I will likely add this to the best checking sign up bonuses.
