Early Account Termination Fee
$50 fee if closed within 180 days of account opening
Our Verdict
This works out to be a 16% annualized return so worth doing if you have some liquid funds that you want to earn a high rate. We’ve seen a previous bonus for up to $1,000 that was most likely better as the deposit requirement was smaller but there is no guarantee we will see that again so we will put this one on the list of the best bank account bonuses.
