Avoiding Fees
Monthly Fees
This account has no monthly fees to worry about.
Early Account Termination Fee
I wasn’t able to find a fee schedule so unsure if there is any EATF.

I opened a Savings Square account in an attempt to find a way in from OOS, but no luck. Even when attempting to add an account from online banking, the dropdown menu only gives options for OK+CO.
This bank is extremely strict on dd. Wise and US bank biz xfer did not count. It look like the 30 debit transactions would be the best option for most of us.
Did this work with debit transactions and if so did you do grocery store or something else? Their terms say, debits "cannot be successive transactions at the same merchant" too. Thanks!
Bonus hit a week after 30th debit transaction. Normal dds from PayPal, Venmo, and Capital One didn’t trigger the bonus for me.
Did you do multiple debit transactions at a store in one session and they accepted it? According to their terms such transactions do not count I would like to know so I can multiple do transactions at grocery stores. Thanks!
Hey American Oligarch, better to follow the T&Cs with this bank. Good luck!!!
Looks like they manually review/pay the bonus - I had done a legit payroll almost a month ago and they had not paid and I was considering doing debits but decided to ask them - I emailed them from the account center and they paid.
Opened 10/3
No initial funding at all
DD 11/1 $501
DD 11/14 $501
Bonus paid 11/13
Wise does NOT count for DD unfortunately.
Opened 9/23
Funded 10/25 - note, my CC funding @ account setup was denied, so I funded the initial $50 in the same real employer DD as the $500 (total of $550)
Bonus paid 10/31
10/18 - real $500 employer DD
10/28 - $300 bonus posted
Do they pull chex? Thanks!
Do they pull chex? Has anyone successfully funded with a CC and which one?
Looks like CC funding was a no go from the DPs.
Never received the debit card, but as others have done pushed from Chase Business with Direct Deposit Payroll in the note field.
Opening deposit $50 on 9/17
Chase Business payment of $505 on 10/9
Checking Bonus $300 on 10/16
Didn't want to mess around with trying other DDs, but all in all pretty easy bonus on to the next one!
The next one is always the best one!!!
Has anyone received the bonus yet? "Once you have completed one of above requirements, we’ll deposit the bonus in your new account within 15 days." My treasury direct deposit was posted more than 15 days ago but no bonus.
Yes. Chase Business Checking ACH $500.01 deposited on 10/3 and bonus is pending today 10/10.
I had to use the secure mail and message the customer service. The bonus showed up the next day after I emailed them.
