• All bank account bonuses are treated as income/interest and as such you have to pay taxes on them

Avoiding Fees

This account has no monthly fees, according to the fine print they do charge an early account termination fee this fee is $100 if closed within 90 days.

Our Verdict

They have offered a bonus of $150 in the past but it also required a bill pay, so this bonus is slightly better. We will be adding this to our list of the best checking sign up bonuses due to the fact it’s a soft pull, the requirements are relatively easy to meet and also the fact there are no monthly fees to worry about.

Big thanks to reader, Curmudgeon who let us know.
