Early Account Termination Fee

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

Our Verdict

This account also earns 1.90% APY if you have a balance above $10,000. Previously they offered a bonus of $250/$500 with the same requirements, my recommendation would be to wait for that bonus to return. Because of that I won’t be adding this to our list of the best savings account bonuses.
