The Fine Print

• The up to $400 new account cash bonus offer is available for opening a new Advantage Business Checking account, as long as customer meets standard account eligibility requirements.

• To earn an additional $100 cash bonus, checking bonus offer requirements must be met, and within the first 90 days of checking account opening must open under same business TIN as checking a new PennEdge loan or line of credit.

Avoiding Fees

Monthly Fees

Advantage business checking has a $12 monthly fee. This is waived:

• $7500 daily checking balance or $15,000 combined daily deposit account balance

Early Account Termination Fee

There is an early closing fee if the fee is closed within 6 months.

Our Verdict

Better than the previous $300 business checking/savings bonus. The main issue is keeping the account fee free, that requires a $7,500 daily balance. If you can meet that requirement and have a business it is worth doing. We will add this to the best bank account bonuses.
