The Fine Print

Avoiding Fees

Monthly Fees

Business builder has a $10 monthly fee, this is waived with a $500 average monthly balance.

Early Account Termination Fee

Unsure if there is any early account termination fee. I’d just keep the account open for a minimum of six months to be on the safe side.

Our Verdict

Previously there was a $250 business checking bonus but that was a long time ago. This is a good return considering you only need to tie up funds for 60 days. Works out to be an annualized return of 20% APY for the 60 days. We will add this to our list of the best bank account bonuses.
