Our Verdict

Always nice to see a bonus with no direct deposit requirement, we still need to know if you can fund with a credit card and if it’s a hard or soft pull. If it’s a soft pull then it’s probably worth doing even though it’s a relatively small bonus. Account also earns 2.02% APY if requirements are met, but there are lots of basic savings accounts that earn at a higher rate.
