Avoiding Fees

Worry free checking account has no monthly fee to worry about. I wasn’t able to find a fee schedule so I’m unsure on any early account termination fees.

Our Verdict

Fine print suggests this is a targeted offer, but it is being displayed on the worry free checking page so that doesn’t make that much sense. Does require $500 in debit card purchases, not a lot but might prevent some people from meeting minimum spend requirements. We also don’t know if it’s a soft or hard pull.

As always if you go for this bonus then please share your data points in the comments below. For now we don’t have enough information to add it to the top rated checking bonuses.
