Offers
- EverTrust Bank offers a $300 bonus when you open a new checking account and meet the following requirements:
- Three or more consecutive months of qualifying direct deposits totaling at least $2,500
Fine Press
- Bonus requirements
- The bonus is available to new Regular Personal Checking accounts opened on or after April 1, 2026. We may change the availability of the promotion at any time. Limit one bonus per customer.
- A $300 bonus will be paid after three or more consecutive months of qualifying direct deposits totaling at least $2,500 within 120 calendar days of account opening date. A qualified direct deposit is a deposit of salary, pension, social security or other monthly income transactions deposited electronically into your account by your employer or other outside agency. Transfers from one account to another, or deposits made at a branch or ATM, do not qualify as direct deposit.
- Your regular personal checking account must be in good standing from the account opening date to the bonus payment date. Good standing means that the account is open, active, not frozen or restricted, without incurring a negative balance outside the approved daily overdraft balance amount, applicable service fees are paid on time and are in accordance with the terms of the account agreement.
- Bonus payment
- The bonus will be deposited into your regular personal checking account within 30 calendar days after the 120-day qualifying period and all requirements of this promotion have been met.
- The bonus will be reported to the IRS for tax purposes and you are responsible for any applicable taxes.
Avoidance of fees
Monthly fees
This account has a monthly fee of $10, this is waived with a balance of $500+
Early account termination fee
I was not able to find a fee schedule so uncertain if there is any EATF.
Our verdict
Annoying to have to open in branch, but still a good deal if you live near a branch.
