Our Verdict
User Hersh has offered to provide referral information in the comments (and also let us know it was a soft pull). For now we won’t be adding this to our best checking bonus page.

Hersh, can you please send me a referral?
Hi, not sure if you still use the site, but the offer is back, and I have a referral now if you’re still interested. You can email me at [email protected] for the info. Thanks!
I can provide a referral. One of the features I really like about this account is free ATM withdrawals globally. Just need to let them know you would be traveling so your withdrawal is not blocked. All my fees have always been reversed.
Hard/soft pull? Should probably include your e-mail so people can e-mail you regarding referrals
Was a soft pull when I opened my account about 2years ago.
CM is write, you need to live, work or have family in Dallas or Irving area to open account.
if referral is needed please post a comment to thread and I will add my email or direct message you
Thanks, Hersh!
This is a longshot, but hersh, do you still have your referral?
This is Dallas-area only. Not available in the rest of Texas, not even in Fort Worth.
