Avoiding Fees

Monthly Fees

They offer a basic checking account with no monthly fees to worry about.

Early Account Termination Fee

There is a $15 fee if closed within 12 months.

Our Verdict

Most people won’t be eligible due to the religious affiliation required. Previously this was only a $100 bonus, now that it is $400 I suspect a lot more people will try for it. We will add it to best bank bonus page but with the religious affiliation stipulation.
