Our verdict
Blaze is a combination of HiWay & SPIRE credit union, we have covered them in the past. You won’t qualify if you’ve had an account with either of them in the last 12 months. The bonus looks pretty good since a direct deposit is not required. It’s a tough draw, but we’ll add it to it best bank account bonuses.
