Avoiding Fees

Monthly Fees

This account has no monthly fees to worry about

Early Account Termination Fee

I wasn’t able to find a fee schedule so unsure if there is any EATF or not.

Our Verdict

Not sure if an account can actually be opened online or not and it’s a small bonus requiring a direct deposit but might be worth doing some readers if they live near a branch.
