Avoiding Fees

Monthly Fees

This account has no monthly fees to worry about.

Early Account Termination Fee

Unclear if there is any EATF.

Our Verdict

Basically the same as the $200 bonus previously offered but with another $100 bonus that can be done if you meet the direct deposit requirements and debit card transaction requirements. Not sure the $100 bonus is actually worth doing but that will depend on you. Will still be adding this to our list of the best bank account bonuses.
