Avoiding Fees

Monthly Fees

eVelocity checking account has no monthly fees to worry about.

Early Account Termination Fee

This account does not have any early account termination fee according to the fee schedule.

$20 Membership Fee

There is a $20 membership fee according to the fee schedule. Thankfully this is waived for military members.

Our Verdict

I’m pretty sure this is available nationwide and you need to be a military/ex military member to be eligible, as least that’s what I was able to find during the sign up process (I didn’t actually sign up as I’m not eligible). There are no requirements or monthly fees for this bonus, so it seems like an easy $100 if it’s a soft pull. If anybody opens an account then let us know your experiences in the comments below.
