Avoiding Fees
The free checking account has no monthly fee to worry about.  According to the fee schedule you’ll be charged an early account termination fee of $25 if the account is closed within 180 days of opening. Not 100% sure if that applies to business accounts as well or not.
Our Verdict
They also have a $100 personal bonus. Requirements seem fairly easy to meet for this business bonus and $250 isn’t bad at all. Isn’t clear what type of business documents they require. As always share your experience and data points in the comments below.
