Avoiding Fees

Monthly Fees

There are no monthly fees on this account

Early Account Termination Fee

I wasn’t able to find an early account termination fee in the fee schedule but I’m unsure if this one is the most current one or not.

Our Verdict

Easier to meet the requirements than the last business bonus that was for $200. Might be worth doing if you live near a branch.
