Avoiding Fees
There is a monthly service charge on the checking account, I’m not entirely sure what it is (I think it’s $3) but it’s waived with a balance of $500 or more. I wasn’t able to find any mention of any early account termination fee in the fee schedule.
Our Verdict
Probably not worth doing considering there are a few requirements for the bonus and it’s only for $100. If anybody does go for it then please share your datapoints in the comments below. For now I won’t add it to the best checking bonuses.
