Our Verdict

Sometimes you can get a bonus of $500 for opening a fast track business checking account, the nice thing about that offer is that it’s a lot easier to keep fee free. This $750 bonus is as high as the accelerated bonus goes. Keep in mind you’d need to keep $25,000 deposited for six months to keep the bonus and avoid any fees.  There are no fees for the first three months so you’d really just want to deposit $20,000 then withdraw it and then add $25,000 again later to keep it fee free  (or just pay $90 in fees). If you put that into an account earning 2% APY you’d earn $125  I will add this to  the list of the best business checking bonuses available because this is as high as this bonus goes. There is also a $200 personal checking bonus that is worth doing (not currently available sadly. Hopefully somebody finds a working link). People have successfully gotten both the business & personal checking account bonuses before.
