Our Verdict

Most of the bonus is from opening a merchant services account, I don’t think it’s worth chasing merchant service bonuses for a variety of the reasons. $25 of the bonus looks to be from opening a consumer account, but you can get a $150/$200 consumer checking bonus. Because of all this we won’t add this to our list of the best bank account bonuses.
