BMO Harris is offering two bonuses for business checking account. Both bonuses are for accounts opened in branch only, so you need to be in one of the eligible states and have a location nearby in order to apply. This promotion has been extended until January 31, 2020.
Warning! This bank is a hassle to deal with regarding personal bonuses but could be easier for these business bonuses.

Guru’s Wrap-Up
This is a nice offer for business checking accounts and if you have $5,000 to keep in the account you’re better off going for the $500 bonus. You need to keep the balance in the account for 90 days to earn the bonus and wait 120 days from account opening for the bonus to actually be awarded. So you’re looking at a total of 4 months at least.
Some data points in the past show that this might not be the easiest bank to deal with. The bonus takes 120 days to post and you’ll need to request it yourself. But there’s no direct deposit requirement, and everything is done in branch, unlike the personal bonuses. So it might be smoother than expected. Check out their personal checking bonus here.
