Avoiding Fees

Monthly Fees

This account has a $3.95 monthly fee ($4.95 monthly fee with paper statements). No way to avoid the monthly fee.

Early Account Termination Fee

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

Our Verdict

Previously this was only $100, now that it is $400 it’s definitely worth doing. We will add this to our list of the best bank account bonuses.
