Our Verdict
I like that there are no monthly fees to worry about, I don’t like that you have to open the account in branch and there is a direct deposit requirement. At least you’ll be able to ask if there is a hard pull before you sign up. If you live close to the branch, this deal might be worth the effort involved, otherwise it’s a pass. Please let us know your experience with this bonus in the comments. Because of the downsides we have not added this to our list of the best bank bonuses.
