Avoiding Fees

Blue Hill Bank offers a free checking account, the only requirement is that you must open it with at least $10. Their fee schedule says that there is an early account termination fee of $25 if the account is closed within 90 days.

Our Verdict

They currently offer a bonus of $200 cash as well, obviously this bonus is for an extra $100 in Uber credit but you do need to complete a direct deposit of $1,000 every month for twelve months and there are also some restrictions on the Uber credit as well. Personally I’d probably just prefer the cash offer so I didn’t have to worry about the direct deposit requirement for so long. Because of that we haven’t added it to our page with the best checking account promos.
