Our Verdict
This is a great bonus, you can initially fund $10,000 with a credit card, which means if you’re using a 2% cash back card you’d earn another $200. You can also get at least $100 of the bonus with no direct deposit, meaning things aren’t a total loss if doing an ACH transfer doesn’t work. We’ve added this bonus to our list of top bank account bonuses and it can also be viewed in our sortable table of all checking promotions.
