Avoidance of fees
Monthly fees
Supercontrol has no monthly fees to worry about.
Early account termination fee
I was not able to find a fee schedule so uncertain if there is any EATF.
Our verdict
Most people don’t want a random brand of TV, it would be helpful if they provided more information about it. Apparently you have to go to the branch anyway, so you might as well check it out before you open it.
