The Offer

Direct link to offer

• Fort Bragg Federal Credit Union is offering a $100 bonus when you open a basic or secured checking account and receive a direct deposit

The Fine Print

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

Avoiding Fees

Monthly Fees

• Secure checking account has a $5.95 monthly fee. Waived with minimum average daily balance of $10,000 or more
• Basic checking account has a $2.95 monthly fee. Waived with minimum average daily balance of $200 AND direct deposit

Early Account Termination Fee

I wasn’t able to find any EATF in the fee schedule.

Our Verdict

Bit difficult to keep the accounts fee free, especially for a $100 bonus. If it turns out to be a soft pull it might be worth doing for people that have already done the bigger bank account bonuses.
