Avoidance of fees
Monthly fees
The Basic Checking Account has no monthly fee and the Select Checking Account has a $5.95 monthly fee that cannot be waived.
Early account termination fee
I couldn’t find any early account termination fees at fee schedule.
Our verdict
Direct deposit isn’t technically required, but if you don’t, you have to pay the $5.95 monthly fee that can’t be waived. Quite a small deal, but still worth doing for some.
