Looks like the promotion has been updated and raised to $300 using the same link but with slightly different terms.

Account opened on 5/26, bonus posted on 6/25.

Can anyone tell me whether these accounts can be closed online after the 6 months are up, or is it necessary to go to a branch?

Does the direct deposit need to be done by June 12 or just account opening?

How do you close the account after the 6 months? Is there a way to do it online, or do you have to visit a branch?

I tried to apply online but it was rejected.

“Sorry, we are unable to open the account you requested online at this time.

We regret that we are unable to open the account you requested online. Please visit your local KeyBank branch to apply in person.”

Does anyone know the reason? I’m not a US citizen but I do live in the US.

Datapoint: used and ACH push from my CapOne 360 Savings account for $1000, and saw the bonus post about 5 weeks later.

Anybody know if I should leave the transferred $1000 in Key Bank for a certain amount of time before safely transferring it back? Don’t want to affect triggering the bonus.

I think you can pull the cash out at any time. Typically when there is a time requirement, the Terms and Conditions will explicitly say that you have to keep the funds in the account for a set period of time. In this case, the T&C are silent. Furthermore, the bonus is intended to attract customers who will use the account in a normal fashion as their primary checking account, and for most people when their paycheck hits the account via direct deposit, they spend the funds over the course of a few weeks.

Opened online on 3/30/15, funded $100 with Barclays card
Funded with $1,000 ACH transfer from Chase on 4/3/15
$200 bonus received 5/28/15
Plan to close on 10/1/15

To separately answer InquisitivePerson’s question — no there is no fee to withdraw via ACH.

Can these accounts be closed online (after 180 days of course), or do you have to go into a branch to do that?

Does anybody know if there is an external transfer fee to move the money out?
