I'm a big fan. I initially signed up because of all the incentives with 3% interest on savings, $25 bonus signing up with referral, $250 bonus with direct deposit (used to be $300).

But it's a great platform overall. 2 day early paychecks, stocks, crypto, loans, credit card... Easy to use and has become my main account.

It’s awesome

Use it for the interest in savings, 2% cash back credit card, and 2 days early paycheck all in one place

Same for visa holders?

I am working with a loan agent for a mortgage account. Per the agent, I will get a credit of 1000$ once I open the checking account. It should cover the loan application fee and commitment fee. (1100$)
Here’s the catch — the account has a 24$ monthly maintenance fee. And that gets waived with the mortgage.

I wonder what would happen if I refinance.
