Avoiding Fees

Monthly Fees

The totally free checking account has no monthly fees to worry about

Early Account Termination Fee

I wasn’t able to find a fee schedule, so I’m unsure if there is any early account termination fee or not.

Our Verdict

Seems like a good deal as it’s a soft pull as there are no real requirements for the bonus. Unfortunately seems to be ChexSystems sensitive so keep that in mind. I will add this to our list of the best checking account bonuses.
