Per a letter in the mail, as of 4/30/25, billpays will no longer count as a transaction under the direct deposit/ACH/billpay category for the Kasasa qualification. Presumably that would impact the ongoing requirements for the bonus, since they put it as wanting you to qualify for Kasasa each cycle.

Approved for a CD with Chex frozen as an existing customer. Clicking through the online portal looks like the same application as for a new customer, same 2k cc/debit funding. Takes a day or two to be approved.

From their FAQs
Do you open new accounts for out-of-state residents?

Existing Customers:
We open accounts for existing customers who reside in any state.

New Customers:
We open accounts for new customers who reside in any of the New England States which includes:
Maine
Vermont
New Hampshire
Massachusetts
Rhode Island
Connecticut

So it seems like if you were existing where you live doesn’t matter. But has anyone knew tried to apply from out of the NE area?

Also notable from the terms, in regards to the debit transactions:

“The following activities do not count toward earning account rewards: ATM-processed transactions, transfers between accounts, debit card purchases processed by merchants and received by our bank as ATM transactions, non-retail payment transactions and purchases made with debit cards not issued by our institution.”

So no financial MCCs predictably (a la Cash App, lol). “Non-retail payment transactions” makes me a bit nervous; wonder if they’d try to include bill payments/utilities in that? Maybe it’s just a standard term, and I’m overthinking.

Be aware of the qualification cycle dates for each month:

E.g. February 2025 cycle is 01/31-02/27 and March 2025 is 02/28-03/28.

Tried applying online but was rejected, went in branch and they were able to open it there. Had the option to fund up to $2000 with a credit card online but was not able to do that in branch.

Yes, same here. They wouldn’t resume the application that was already there, where I entered the credit card information. They pulled Chex again too.
