I received my $200. I opened the checking account during the first few days that it became available. I deposited $50 to start. Since then, I have had $10 from my work paycheck direct deposited every pay period (2 weeks). From rereading this site, it looks like they changed it so you have to direct deposit at least $100 now. That sucks.
Anyways. Just letting you know it worked.

William, FYI, this offer appears to no longer be available. I clicked on the direct link to the offer and it is a broken link. Furthermore, going to the bank’s website directly shows no sign of such a bonus. Might want to update this article.

Looks like the terms have changed and gotten a little harder, but still not too bad. The site now specifically says that the direct deposit needs to be at least $100 and you have to “Conduct at least 5 debit card transactions per month”.

Seems like that 5 transactions per month would just be until the bonus deposits, not for the full 180 you have to keep the account open but might need to get clarification on that.

Yay – another one for Utah! Thank you for posting this! Just opened account online. The process was fairly easy.

Just set it up, waiting for trial deposits.

Anyone with info on what “recurring direct deposit” will satisfy, or do I have to redirect my Social Security?

Just went through the account opening process online. The process was relatively easy. There was no option to fund the account with a debit or credit card. The only funding options were ACH from another bank, mail in a check, or direct deposit from another bank.

Yes, soft pull.

Any DP on CC funding from anyone? Maximums, card types, etc.?

I contacted their customer service to learn more about if it was a hard pull or not as well as if I needed to do a certain amount with direct deposit. There is no hard pull. This was their response:

Thank you for your interest in opening an account through our website! We don’t do a hard pull of your credit when you open the Easy Checking account. You do need to deposit the $50 minimum at account opening but your direct deposit doesn’t have to be a certain dollar amount. The direct deposit however must be made to your new account within 60 days of account opening and it must be a recurring deposit (Qualified direct deposits include payroll checks, pension, Social Security or other regular monthly income).

If all qualifications have been met then the bonus will be deposited into the account within 90 days of account opening but you will want to keep the account open for at least 180 days to retain the bonus.
