First class checking account has no monthly fees to worry about.
Early Account Termination Fee
I wasn’t able to find an early account termination in the fee schedule
Our Verdict
Probably not worth doing for most people due to the hard pull. Because of that I won’t be adding this to our list of the best checking bonus.

Basically, around Minneapolis.
Anyone anywhere can join with a $5 donation to their Wings Financial Foundation, so it’s not location restricted, but it’s definitely a hard pull. DPs as recent as 9/25/19 on the myFICO forums.
$300 bonus for a hard pull and $5 is pretty reasonable
Just concerned about Chex inquiries disqualifying me after wasting the hard pull…
i doubt they look at chex if they are pulling your credit.
They are not Chex sensitive by any means. 15+ accounts in the last 12 months and approved.
These guys are chexs sensitive beware before applying if you churn checking bonuses
I bank with them. They can be challenging to work with.
Any idea how many Chex inquiries or new bank accounts you had when opening your membership ?
Along with Jim’s question, any idea what they count as a direct deposit?
Can you explain more about the difficulty you’ve had with them?
Anyone know what credit bureau they pull? If it is Trans Union, I’d be in!
They pull Equifax.
Oops I meant Experian. Got the two mixed up. Applied and got approved today.
Thanks. My Experian file is kinda of maxed out on hard pulls. I might skip this one. Bummer.
Beware even if you have zero debt and a high credit score they will deny you, im LOL/24 and was denied for whatever reason.
What credit bureau did they pull from? Are you in one of their states or out?
Equifax
I meant Experian. My bad.
MN, i live right next to one of there branches. They pulled Experian.
Unfortunate to hear, this was an online application? Are you in state? Did they contact you about identity verification or anything else?
I applied online and im located in MN, i live right next to one of there branches. They pulled Experian.
They said they denied me based on my credit? But my credit score is in the high 780s with no debt.
Ive only opened one normal credit card this year the rest have been business cards.
Also they contacted me by email.
Maybe the person who did my application is just an asshole hater haha idk.
I felt like i should have got approved for this one.
I’d call and ask for reconsideration. Can’t hurt to try. You’ve already got the hard pull.
Lol i called them today for reconsideration and they said to contact experian for to many inquiries?! Also told me to try opening in branch after calling them.
Maybe ill go to one of there branches tomorrow and try to get it opened.
Worth the trip for an easy 300$ score.
i went in branch and they denied me because of my chex has 31 inquiries.
LOL thanks for the DP Mike. I have no self-worth, so I’ll be going in branch on Monday to apply. I definitely have near or more than 31 chex inq’s in the last 2 years, so let’s see if I’m lucky.
These guys are chexs sensitive beware before applying if you churn checking bonuses
Online application with referral from a friend who has an account. Hard pull experian. Had to upload DL and utility bill because addresses didn’t line up exactly. Approved with $500 CC funding on a Chase card. 15/12 and 40/24, so Chex sensitivity may be up to the discretion of the banker who reviews your application. Full online access and full account numbers are readily available.
I’ll probably do a real DD to trigger the bonus. They probably do manual reviews.
I’ll post my referral link if
William Charles allows that.
No
I’ll get both if I fulfill the terms, yes
DP: My account was opened on 12/9/19 and my first employer DD posted on 1/3/20. The $300 bonus also posted on 1/3.
