[TN, GA, AL] FirstBank $250 Checking Bonus

Any idea if there is a household limit?

awesome, i’ll bite!!

on the application it says:
Will Cashier’s Checks or money orders be purchased?
Will cash transactions greater than $2,500 be conducted?
just a note for those to whom this applies.
not sure how this would affect your application, but they ask it nonetheless.

Soft pull

no credit card funding.
optional to fund anything at all at opening.
selected to fund $250 just to see the options, and it is either to fund from an existing firstbank, or, to transfer from another institution. when you choose that, it wants acct/rtg #. no option for debit or credit card funding. so i chose to not fund at all.

So this needs only one DD of $300 after 60 days?

Seems a bit strange that they want an ACH Direct Deposit 60 days AFTER opening account. Most banks want it within 60 days.

i dont see any checking account & only see CD’s as available products? what am i doing wrong?

I see only CD’s as available products in my zip code in GA

Applied and conditionally approved. They don’t appear to be Chex sensitive. No hp showing up so far.

any data points for direct deposit would be greatly appreciated.

We’ve banked with them for 15 years and don’t have any major complaints. They aren’t quite cutting edge on technology, but they’ve been fine on customer service.
