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.
Our Verdict
You should be able to ask if it’s a hard or soft pull before opening the account. Both bonuses look relatively easy to complete the requirements for so if it turns out to be a soft pull we will add them to the best bank account bonuses page.

Opened in branch. The person didn’t know what that I meant when I asked if it was a soft or hard pull. She said they wouldn’t run a credit check unless I was applying for a loan. She then asked me about some recent bank accounts that I had closed, so maybe Chex? However, when I said I have an account with Ally she said that that wouldn’t show. So not sure why that would be the case, maybe because it’s savings?
