Avoiding Fees

Basic Business Checking $8 Monthly Fee

The basic business checking account is the easiest to keep fee free. It has a $8 monthly fee, this is waived if you have a minimum balance of either:

• $300 daily or
• $500 monthly

Early Account Termination Fee $20

This account does come with an early account termination fee of $20 if you cancel it within the first 180 days of account opening. In addition the account must be kept open for 195 days otherwise you will forfeit the bonus

Our Verdict

This is a great bonus, it’s not clear what sort of business documents they require and it looks like you’ll need to open in branch [branch locations here]. If anybody decides to go for it, please share your experiences in the comments. They also have a $300 personal checking bonus that is well worth doing as well. I’ll be adding this to the best business checking account promotions.

Big thanks to reader, Curmudgeon who let us know. Learn how to find bonuses and contribute to the site here.
