Avoiding Fees

Monthly Fees

They offer a dream big account with no monthly fees to worry about.

Early Account Termination Fee

There is a $50 fee if you close your account within 12 months of account opening.

Our Verdict

Probably worth doing as it’s a soft pull and can easily meet the requirements.

Applied. $500 CC funding was pending. Requested more documents (Drivers license pic). Then denied. Why are they even doing a sign up bonus to get customers if they are denying everyone?

Applied 12/5/21 Sunday night, 80 miles from closest branch. Deal fine print still says valid to Dec 31, 2021 as Ying said.
Auto accepted the application (no auto deny for zip). Allowed CC funding up to 250k total it said, with options for $100, $1250, and some other amounts up. Default selected is $100 each. I selected $1250 for the checking and savings for cc for CFF for a total of $2500 shows as Pending.
Fingers crossed! 80 mi away from closest branch.

Denied by email, no mail followup. The CFF $2500 pending dropped and never registered. Was worth a try!
