Our Verdict
Most people find $100 bonuses aren’t worth it if they have to open in the branch. For now we haven’t added it to our best bonus page.

“Direct Link to Offer” has no details about the bonus, is this dead? I don’t live anywhere near the branch so I can’t check with them in person, but I might drive up there if the deal is still good. If I call the branch to check, I’ll post a new comment.
(Also contrary to what it says above in “Our Verdict” this does now appear on the page of best bank bonuses.)
Doesn’t look available anymore, just removed it from that page and updated this one.
