Avoiding Fees

I’m unsure if there is any early account termination fees on either of these accounts as I was unable to find the fee schedule for this bank.

My Lifestyle Checking $0

This account does not come with any monthly fees.

My Lifestyle Savings $0

This account does not come with any monthly fees.

Our Verdict

I always try to get at least $100 in value out of bank bonuses, so this is right on the edge (most checking bonuses are around the $100 mark). The downside to this particular bonus is that we don’t know a lot about it (e.g whether it’s a hard or soft pull) because of that I wouldn’t recommend it.

You’ll be better off signing up to one of the bonuses that we do recommend, all of which have a much higher cash bonus and far more information as well (e.g soft/hard pull and credit card funding information).
