Note: TruNoth Bank is the new name of Abington Bank & North Shore Bank. I’ve created a new post as I’m sure if it follows either bank in terms of soft/hard pull and credit card funding as well as direct deposit datapoints. Keep in mind terms say ‘Customers who have previously received a bonus on a checking account from the bank are not eligible’. I assume that refers both to Abington and North Shore.
