Avoiding Fees
Monthly Fees
The free checking account has no monthly fees to worry about.
Early Account Termination Fee
If the account is closed within 90 days a $10 closure fee will be charged.
Our Verdict
ENT has offered a $500 bonus in the past, but that was in branch only and $200 of that was really a savings bonus. This $200 bonus is significantly less, but it’s also much easier to meet the requirements for. Given how easy the requirements are to meet, we will add this to our best bank bonus page.
