Avoiding Fees

Monthly Fees

Beyond checking has no monthly fee to worry about.

Early Account Termination Fee

According to the fee schedule there is a $20 fee if closed within six months.

Our Verdict

Obviously not a huge bonus and the $5 non refundable fee makes it even smaller, but there aren’t a lot of nationwide bank bonuses so I expect this will still be popular and will add it to the best bank bonuses. They also offer a mega high yield savings account that earns 5% APY on your first $500 and 3% on the next $500 when you set up a $25 monthly deposit.
