Our Verdict
This deal is only going to be worthwhiled if you live close to a branch as you need to go into a branch to collect $100 out of the $150 bonus. I live within the service area, but there are no branches near by – because of this I’m going to give it a miss. If the bonus was a bit higher then I’d bother with it, but the requirements are quite strict for a $150 bonus.
If you’re thinking of doing this deal, I’d suggest having a look at our round up or the best bank deals currently available. This deal is being added to our current bank account bonus page – state specific section.

NuVision allows credit card funding. I made initial deposit with credit card for $500. They pulled Experian. I will verify the soft inquiry and update when bonus is received.
