Guru’s Wrap-Up

A nice bonus, and better than last time which was only $100. The only requirement is a direct deposit, but you need to go into a branch to open the account. Limited to just three states, but should be worth doing if you are eligible and can easily switch a direct deposit from your employer to this bank. Let me know if you have any experience with this bank, or if any ACH transfers have triggered similar bonuses in the past.
