The Offer
- Bank of The Blue Grass is offering a bonus of $100 when you open a new checking account and complete the following requirements:
- Have a direct deposit made to this account within 60 days of account opening.
The Fine Print
- Your direct deposit needs to be an electronic deposit of your paycheck, pension or government benefits from your employer or the government. Ask about our EZSwitch concierge service to facilitate moving your direct deposit.
- Once all the requirements are met and confirmed, we’ll deposit $100.00 to the account within 10 business days of confirmation.
- All bank account bonuses are treated as income/interest and as such you have to pay taxes on them
Avoiding Fees
Monthly Fees
The kasasa checking accounts have no monthly fees to worry about.
Early Account Termination Fee
I wasn’t able to find an early account termination fee in the fee schedule.
Our Verdict
We need to know if it’s a hard or soft pull, but should be possible to ask that before opening. Shame it’s only available at that one branch.
