(It’s OK to invite friends and family to sing along with you). You can find the words and music at florencebank.com/sing.

• Each cash bonus will post to your new account after each condition is met and may take up to 60 days from account opening
• All bank account bonuses are treated as income/interest and as such you have to pay taxes on them

Avoiding Fees

They offer a free checking account with no monthly fees or minimums to worry about. There doesn’t look to be any early account termination fee in the fee schedule, but a $10 monthly fee is charged if the account is dormant for 12 months.

Our Verdict

Seems like a great bonus if it’s a soft pull. The singing requirement is a bit weird, but for $25 why not. Even if you’re not into it you can still get $200 of the bonus and those requirements are very easy to meet. Will definitely be added to the best checking bonus page if it’s a soft pull. As always please share your datapoints and comments in the article below.
