I hope that this is a sign of Netbank realizing that sign-up bonuses will only burn a hole in a bank budget, if the bank fees customers to death and does not try to offer competitive deposit products.
Unfortunately, the ATM rebates will be offered only to the customers with
SuperValue Checking accounts (Service fees - $3/month for avg. daily balance of $2,500 or more. $9/month for avg. daily balance of less than $2,500).
