Avoiding Fees

Monthly Fees

I couldn’t tell what the monthly fees on the accounts were.

Early Account Termination Fee

I wasn’t able to find a fee schedule so unsure if there is an early account termination fee.

Our Verdict

Highly location restricted, but might be worth doing if you live in the area.
