Our verdict
The last business bonus I remember from them was $400, but that was in 2017 (very possible I missed some in between). The requirements are not the worst, but opening at the branch wastes a lot more time in my experience. Debatable if it’s worth it for $200, but it will depend on your circumstances. It will still be added to ours best business check bonuses.
