Our Verdict

Pretty good bonus considering it’s a soft pull and you can fund with a credit card. Even better if you can do it with a friend and they are willing to split some of their referal money with you (please don’t do this in the comments, it’s too difficult to police for us). I’ll add this to our best checking bonus page.
