The Offer
- Pikes Peak National Bank is offering a $250 bonus when you open a new freedom checking account and complete the following requirements:
- Receive $1,000+ in qualifying direct deposits
- Enroll in mobile banking
- Make 15 debit card purchases
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
I can’t find any reference to a freedom checking account?
Early Account Termination Fee
Our Verdict
Previously the best bonus was a $100 checking referral bonus. Shame it needs to be opened in branch, but at least you should be able to find out if it’s a hard/soft pull before opening.
