Avoiding Fees

Monthly Fees

This account has no monthly fees to worry about.

Early Account Termination Fee

Wasn’t able to find a fee schedule so unsure if there is any EATF.

Our Verdict

Fantastic bonus, previous best was only $100. Shame it’s restricted to college students. We will add this to our list of the best bank account bonuses.
