It offers several ways to waive the monthly fee, and you may qualify for a $300 bank account bonus. But if you want perks like early direct deposit or waived out-of-network ATM fees, one of Chase's other options could be a better fit.

Chase is one of the best national banks out there.

If you're looking for a card with a long introductory APR offer to pay off your balance, this card could fit the bill. However, that's the main draw, since you won't earn any rewards or a welcome bonus.

Pros
- Substantial welcome offer and 4x bonus points on dining worldwide and U.S. supermarkets
- Automatic Marriott Gold elite status (room upgrades and late checkout when available, bonus points on stays)
- Earn 1,000 bonus Marriott points per stay
Cons
- High annual fee
- No free night award after your account anniversary; must spend $15,000 in a year to earn
- 4x points capped at $15,000 in combined purchases on dining and U.S. supermarkets
Insider’s Take
The Marriott Bonvoy Bountiful™ Card comes with automatic Gold elite status and other perks that appeal to frequent Marriott travelers. However, it's got a $250 annual fee, so unless you can maximize its benefits, a different Marriott card would be a better fit.

Cons
- Could offer better rewards on non-IHG purchases
Insider’s Take
If you stay at IHG properties even just a few times a year, the IHG One Rewards Premier Credit Card is a great way to save money on your hotel stays and enjoy extra benefits. The annual free night alone can easily be worth much more than the annual fee, and perks like up to $50 in United TravelBank Cash and valuable annual spending incentives make the card even more compelling.

Insider’s Take
If you're a DoorDash fanatic, the DoorDash Rewards Mastercard® is a great no-annual-fee credit card that will fit your lifestyle with a high return rate and a few benefits that can save you potentially hundreds.

With a high annual fee and limited redemption options compared to other Chase Ink cards, this card is only a good fit for small businesses that regularly make purchases of $5,000 or more to trigger the highest reward rate. It could also be a good choice for those who need the higher spending potential offered by a pay-in-full card. For most small business owners, however, other Chase Ink cards are a better value.

Methodology: How We Reviewed Chase Bank
For our Chase Bank review, we rated bank products and services using our editorial standards.
At Personal Finance Insider, we rate products on a scale from zero to five stars. For bank accounts, we review different features for distinct types of bank accounts. For example, we'll look at early withdrawal penalties and CD variety specifically for CDs. Meanwhile, for checking accounts, we'll factor in the ATM network size and fees, as well as its overdraft protection options.
We'll consider factors like annual fees and sign-up bonuses for credit cards, and term lengths for loans. In general, we also look at customer service and ethics.
How Chase Bank Compares
Chase Bank vs. Bank of America
You might prefer Bank of America for a savings account because the Bank of America Advantage Savings Account automatically waives its monthly fee for the first six months. Opening this account also makes you eligible to earn cash-back rewards when you use your debit card with select retailers.
Chase may be better if you're searching for the right checking account, though. There are several Chase checking accounts, so you're likely to find one that fits your needs.
Chase Bank vs. Wells Fargo
The Wells Fargo Kids Way2Save Savings Account is appealing because it has tools to help you save more. For example, the Save As You Go® feature transfers $1 from checking to savings each time you swipe your Wells Fargo debit card.
Chase offers many more checking account options than Wells Fargo, so you might find the best fit with Chase. As far as CDs go, it depends on which CD term length you're looking for. Wells Fargo CD rates are decent, but the bank only offers terms up to one year. Meanwhile, Chase has CD terms as high as 10 years.
