The Offer

Direct link to offer

  • Westmark Credit Union is offering a $250 bonus when you open a new checking account. Bonus is broken down as follows:
    • $150 will be deposited into your account immediately upon account opening.
    • The remaining $100 will be deposited after 90 days IF:
      • A deposit of $1,000 or more is made to the account AND
      • 15 transactions have been made.

The Fine Print

  • All bank account bonuses are treated as income/interest and as such you have to pay taxes on them

Avoiding Fees

Monthly Fees

Eagle checking has no monthly fees. 

Early Account Termination Fee

I wasn’t able to find a fee schedule s unsure if there is any EATF. 

Our Verdict

Very easy bonus to meet the requirements for, worth doing especially if it’s a soft pull to open the account.
