Avoiding Fees

They offer a free checking account with no monthly fee to worry about. I wasn’t able to find any mention of an early account termination fee in their fee schedule.

Our Verdict

Seems like a reasonable deal if it’s a soft pull, depending on how strict they are on the direct deposit requirements and if you can fund with a credit card. A $100 offer is never going to be the greatest, but they all add up I guess. Find the best checking bonuses here.
