BMO

Smart Advantage, Smart Money, or Relationship Checking

checkingDirect deposit14 states

Citizens

One Deposit Checking

Up to $600

Citizens will match qualifying debit-card fuel purchases, up to $50 a month and $600 in a year, on a new One Deposit Checking account that also gets $1,000 in monthly direct deposits.

checkingDirect depositAvailability not stated
Deposit
Opening balance can be any amount. You must also open an eligible savings account the same day.
Direct deposit
$1,000 or more in direct deposits each calendar month you want a checking bonus, for up to 12 months.

Expires
Open both accounts the same day by November 30, 2026.
Monthly fee
One Deposit Checking is $0 or $9.99. Waive the $9.99 with one deposit of any amount during the statement period.

Effective value

$600

The monthly fee is easy to waive with any deposit, so it is not subtracted. The $600 is not automatic cash: each month Citizens pays you back qualifying fuel spend, capped at $50. If you do not buy fuel, that month pays $0.

Huntington

Platinum Perks Checking

$600

Bring $25,000 of new money to Huntington Platinum Perks Checking, keep it open 90 days, and the bank pays $600. No direct deposit required.

checkingNo direct deposit21 states
Deposit
Deposit $25,000 or more in new money within 90 days. New money is not already on deposit at Huntington, except maturing personal CDs.
Direct deposit
Direct deposit is not required. This tier is a new-money deposit.
Keep open
At least 90 days.
Bonus posts
Within 14 days after you meet the requirements.
Expires

Monthly fee
$25, or $0 with a $25,000 total relationship balance. Keep a total relationship balance of at least $25,000 in eligible deposits and certain investments. Otherwise $25 a month.

Effective value

$525

Minimum-path estimate: $600 minus three $25 fees, because the bonus requires the $25,000 deposit but does not say you must leave it there. Leave the $25,000 in the relationship and the fee waiver applies, so the bonus is worth $600.

KeyBank

Key Select Checking

$500

Key Select Checking pays $500 after $5,000 in eligible direct deposits within 90 days. The $25 fee is waived for the first 3 months.

Effective value

$450

The first 3 months are waived. If you finish the direct deposits on day 90 and Key takes the full 60 days to pay, two later months can cost $25 each. $500 minus $50 is $450, unless you are already meeting the $3,000 or $15,000 waiver.

Santander

Simply Right, Essential, Select, or Private Client Checking

$500

Keep a $5,000 average daily balance for 90 days, add one qualifying direct deposit, and Santander pays $500.

Monthly fee

Truist

Truist One or Marquee Checking

$500

Truist pays $500 on new One or Marquee Checking after $2,000 in direct deposits and 20 debit purchases within 120 days.

checkingDirect deposit17 states
Deposit
Truist One opens with $50. Marquee opens with $100. The offer works on either.
Direct deposit
At least two qualifying ACH direct deposits, each greater than $5, totaling $2,000 or more within 120 days.
Keep open
Not stated as a fixed number of days. The bonus is forfeited if the account is at $0 or negative, restricted, or closed when Truist tries to pay it.
Bonus posts
Within 10 business days after you meet the requirements.
Expires
Open from July 14, 2026 through February 2, 2027.
Monthly fee
Truist One is $12 or $0. Marquee is $35 or $0. The $500 is easier to keep on Truist One. Truist One: $500 or more in qualifying direct deposits per statement cycle, a $500 combined ledger balance, a related Truist credit card, mortgage, or consumer loan, a linked small-business checking account, student status, or a primary client under 25 or 62 and older. Marquee: $250,000 combined balance or a Truist Wealth relationship.

Effective value

$500

On Truist One, spreading the required $2,000 of direct deposits so each statement cycle gets $500 meets a published fee waiver. The $500 bonus is then not reduced by the $12 fee. Marquee's $35 fee is much harder to waive and is not the path used for this number.

Monthly fee
$15 monthly service fee on Chase Total Checking. Avoid the fee with direct deposits totaling $500 or more, or with a minimum average daily balance each statement period. The offer page does not state the dollar amount of that balance.

Effective value

$355

Minimum-path estimate: $400 minus three $15 fees ($45). The bonus asks for $1,000 total within 90 days, which does not by itself waive a $15 fee every statement. Route $500 of direct deposit each statement and the fee is $0, so the bonus is worth the full $400.

Effective value
