Avoiding Fees
Monthly Fees
This account has no monthly fees to worry about
Early Account Termination Fee
As far as I know there is no early account termination fee.
Our Verdict
Unfortunately only available to current Simple Bank customers. One Finance is useful as it also offers 3% APY, standard sign up bonus is only $50. You can read our full review of One Finance here. Won’t add this to the best checking promotions as obviously most people won’t be Simple Bank customers and it’s too late to sign up.
