Guru’s Wrap-Up
This Bank of the West $150 bonus is not the best offer they’ve had. Previously there was also a $300 bonus, but it required a larger deposit. You have to complete a few requirements, but it should be doable for most people who are eligible. It’s also fairly easy to keep the account fee free.
If this bonus is not for you, then you can check our full list of available bank bonuses.
