Avoiding Fees

Monthly Fees

The classic checking account has no monthly fees to worry about.

Early Account Termination Fee

According to the fee schedule there is no early account termination fee.

Our Verdict

Last year they offered a bonus of $123 but with the same requirements. This $200 bonus is obviously better. I will be adding this to the best checking bonuses list as the requirements are fairly easy to meet and you can fund a nice amount with a credit card as well.
