- Apply for, and open, one new Alliant Credit Union Checking account between October 1, 2025, and October 31, 2025.
- Make direct deposit(s) totaling a minimum of $1,500 into the newly opened Alliant Credit Union Checking account within 45 calendar days of the Checking account opening.
The Fine Print
- All bank account bonuses are treated as income/interest and as such you have to pay taxes on them
Avoiding Fees
Monthly Fees
This account has no monthly fees as long as you opt for eStatements.
Early Account Termination Fee
There is a $10 fee if closed within 90 days.
Our Verdict
Hopefully this stacks with the Rakuten offer, often that doesn’t lead to the correct landing page but it’s possible to get them to stack but YMMV as always. We won’t add this to our best bank bonus page until it actually goes live.
