Savings Account
The Chase Savings Account comes with a monthly service fee of $5. Monthly fee is waived with any ONE of the following:
- Keep a minimum daily balance of $300 or more
- Have at least one repeating automatic transfer from your Chase checking account of $25 or more; one time transfers do not qualify
- Have a linked Chase Premier Plus CheckingChase Premier Platinum Checkingor Chase Private Client Checking account

The Chase Total Checking account comes with a monthly service fee of $10-$12 which is waived if complete any of the following:
- Have monthly direct deposits totaling $500 or more
- Keep a minimum daily balance of $1,500 or more in the checking account
- Keep an average daily balance of $5,000 or more in any combination of qualifying Chase checkingsavings and other balances
New accounts will not be charged a Monthly Service Fee for at least the first two statement periods.
Early Account Termination Fee
There used to be an six-month period where you would lose the bonus if closed outbut sometime in 2022 (?) they removed that clause and so it’s now safe to close after you receive the bonus paid out.
Our Verdict
This is the best public bonus we’ve seen on this accountreally excellent offer and much better than the prior $600 offer.
Those who have done a Chase bonus before can do it again after 24 months. Look for the opening date of when you opened your last checking/savings accounts (not the bonus date)then wait 24 months before opening the new account. That will make you eligible for the new bonus.
Be sure to have the $15,000 sent directly to the Chase savings account. If you send it to the checking and then transfer it over to the savingsI don’t know if you’ll earn the savings bonuses. (Update: there are reports on both sides of this. Report link | Counter-report link)
