  • At least $4,000 in total Direct Deposits

Our Verdict

Requirements seem the same as when it was a $600 bonus. Don’t think it’s worth doing due to the previous much bigger bonus. We won’t add this to our checking bonuses.

  • I just want to warn everyone not to spell the bank's name out! Always write it as "T+BK" instead or your comment will go to moderation.

    • There's nothing wrong with a comment going to moderation and there is no need to tell people what will trigger the moderation filter or how to get around it. It's generally there for a reason.

      • I was only trying to help people not have their comment not get posted for hours and was trying to lessen the workload for you and @6 just a little bit. However, I won't do so in the future as now I know that you frown upon that.

        • Thank you, appreciate it! It's no extra work approving comments by the way, we read every one anyway. It doesn't matter so much with this filter, but other filters we would prefer people don't open discuss so easier to have a blanket rule!
