Avoiding Fees
Monthly Fees
This account has no monthly fees to worry about.
Early Account Termination Fee
According to the fee schedule there is a $5 fee if the account is closed within six months. You need to keep the account open for longer than six months anyway to complete the requirements.
Our Verdict
Very annoying that the direct deposit must be maintained for six months, not worth it for a lot of people.
