Avoiding Fees

$20 Monthly Fee

This account comes with a monthly fee of $20, this is waived if you have an average collected balance of $5,000 for the monthly statement period or $30,000 in Total Relationship balances.

Early Account Termination Fee

This account needs to be kept open for a minimum of six months, otherwise you will forfeit the bonus.

Our Verdict

This is a pretty good bonus (as is the $200 personal checking bonus they offer). You’d need to tie up $5,000 for six months to get the bonus and avoid the monthly fees, or you could just deposit $5,000 and withdraw it and pay the $20 monthly fee (you’d be paying around $120 in fees that way). This is definitely one of the best business checking bonuses currently available. The biggest downside to this bonus is that you need to open it in branch.
