Avoiding Fees

Monthly Fees

Freedom checking has no monthly fees to worry about as long as you opt in for paperless statements.

Early Account Termination Fee

I wasn’t able to find a fee schedule so unsure if any early account termination fee is charged.

Our Verdict

Seems like a great bonus, the credit card funding is slightly old though so unclear if that will still be the case or not.
