Avoiding Fees

Monthly Fees

PayMe checking has no monthly fees to worry about

Early Account Termination Fee

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

Our Verdict

There has been a $250 bonus and $150 in the past. Those haven’t been offered in a long time though. Unfortunately there are mixed datapoints of it being a hard or soft pull.
