The Offer
Direct link to offer
- EverTrust Bank is offering a $300 bonus when you open a new checking account and complete the following requirements:
- Three or more consecutive months of qualifying direct deposits totaling at least $2,500
The Fine Print
- 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 bonus of $300 will be paid after three or more consecutive months of qualifying direct deposits totaling at least $2,500 are made within 120 calendar days from the date the account is opened. A qualifying direct deposit is a deposit of your salary, pension, Social Security, or other monthly income transaction electronically deposited 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 a direct deposit.
- Your Regular Personal Checking account must be in good standing from the date the account is opened to the date the bonus is paid. Good standing means the account is open, active, not frozen, or restricted, without incurring a negative balance outside the approved overdraft daily balance amount, applicable service charges are paid timely and has complied 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 qualification period and all requirements of this promotion are fulfilled.
- The bonus will be reported to the IRS for tax purposes, and you are responsible for any applicable taxes.
Avoiding Fees
Monthly Fees
This account has a $10 monthly fee, this is waived with a balance of $500+
Early Account Termination Fee
I wasn’t able to find a fee schedule so unsure if there is any EATF.
Our Verdict
Annoying that it needs to be opened in branch, but still a good deal if you live near a branch.
