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 or not.
Our Verdict
Sadly looks like they are very Chexsystems sensitive so I suspect most readers won’t get approved. Good bonus and worth doing if you can though and will be added to the best bank bonus page with a ChexSystems warning.
