The Fine Print

• To receive the $150 bonus, you must (1) establish a new membership with Andrews Federal Credit Union; (2) open a new Kasasa Cash, Kasasa Cash Back, Forces, or Online Checking; (3) start a new direct deposit of $500 or more to your new checking account within sixty (60) calendar days of opening the account; and (4) maintain that direct deposit for at least ninety (90) calendar days (i.e. ninety (90) calendar days from the date of the first direct deposit to the account).
• Membership and checking account must be opened during the promotional period of 11/15/2023 and 12/31/2023.
• You must meet the terms of your new checking account type, including the direct deposit requirement, in order to be eligible for the $150 bonus.
• Qualifying direct deposits include recurring electronic deposits of payroll, pension, or Social Security. Person-to-person, bank transfers or other electronic money transfers, such as those made through internet payment services, do not qualify.

• Previous memberships that were closed within 180 days prior to promo are not eligible for this offer.
• Your new Andrews Federal checking account must still be open and in good standing when we seek to credit the bonus, otherwise the bonus is forfeited.
• Only one bonus will be awarded per member regardless of the number of accounts opened.
• Bonus offers are not transferable and are reportable for tax purposes.
• A $25 early account closing fee applies if the account is closed within 60 days of opening.

Avoiding Fees

Monthly Fees

These accounts have no monthly fees to worry about.

Early Account Termination Fee

A $25 early account closing fee applies if the account is closed within 60 days of opening

Our Verdict

Previously this was $200 with the same requirements. Still worth doing and the Kasasa Cash checking account earns 6% APY on up to $25,000. We will add this to our list of best bank account bonuses.
