Avoiding Fees

Monthly Fees

This account has a $5 monthly fee. This is waived if you meet the bonus requirements listed above.

Early Account Termination Fee

According to the fee schedule there is a $10 fee if closed within six months of account opening.

Our Verdict

Meeting the requirements also means you earn 3% APY on balances up to $10,000. That’s actually an OK rate and nice maximum amount at the moment. Unfortunately it’s a hard pull, but still worth doing for people that don’t care about those. Will add to the best bank bonuses.
