Avoiding Fees
Monthly Fees
Freedom Blue has no monthly fees to worry about.
Early Account Termination Fee
I wasn’t able to find any mention of this fee in the fee schedule.
Our Verdict
Seems like a great bonus. Much better than the $100 checking bonus as it’s an extra $100 plus no direct deposit required. Definitely worth doing as there is no monthly fee to worry about either. Adding to our best bank account bonuses.
