I tried getting more info over the phone but the reps are foreign thus impossible to understand.

it costs about $10 a month to keep the account open unless you have a $6000 minimum balance as far as i know

I just closed my account with them, I paid myself $1 ecvery month to two seperate addresses, my monthly fees were waived (I did not meet the minimum required balance).

As an aside, when I closed my account, I transferred my balance through an external transfer to another bank. After I did so, 3 cents in interest posted to my account, so when the account closed they mailed me a 3 cent check :-)
