Our Verdict
There’s no timeframe stated where you have to hold the $1,000 in the account. And so it should be an easy $60-$75 immediately with the initial $1,000 deposit. You won’t get a 1099 from the bank, and legally you’d presumably have to self-report the $60 income (please consult a tax advisor).
Separately, the account actually offers a nice 5% 4.8% APY interest rate.Â
