The Offer

Direct link to offer

• Sawyer Savings Bank is offering a bonus of $100 when you open a new personal checking account. It says some restrictions apply, but never states what they actually are.

 

The Fine Print

• All bank account bonuses are treated as income/interest and as such you have to pay taxes on them

Avoiding Fees

They offer a free checking account with no monthly fees to worry about. I wasn’t able to find a fee schedule so I’m unsure if there is any early account termination fee.

Our Verdict

With such a little amount of information it’s possible to pass any judgement on this bonus. If anybody does go in branch to open the account, please find out what the bonus requirements are and if it’s a soft pull to open.

Big thanks to reader, Curmudgeon who let us know. Learn how to find bonuses and contribute to the site here.
