Avoiding Fees
Monthly Fees
Basic checking account has no monthly fee and the choice checking account has a $5.95 monthly fee that cannot be waived.
Early Account Termination Fee
I wasn’t able to find any early account termination fee in the fee schedule.
Our Verdict
Direct deposit isn’t technically required but if you don’t do that you need to pay the $5.95 monthly fee that can’t be waived. Pretty small offer but still worth doing for some.
