  • Applied. $500 CC funding was pending. Requested more documents (Drivers license pic). Then denied. Why are they even doing a sign up bonus to get customers if they are denying everyone?

  • Declined. I live about 50mi from the closest branch. No reason given. 5 new accounts in the year.

  • As of 03/07/2022, it appears offer is still good but bank products have changed. From offer page from link in the post, "*To obtain the $100 reward, a new Prosper Checking with Savings account must be opened with an initial deposit of at least $250 on or before December 31, 2022. The new account must be opened with money not currently on deposit at Westfield Bank, FSB, and a monthly direct deposit or recurring ACH debit/credit must be established. We will pay the reward by crediting $100 to your new Westfield Bank checking account as interest within 10 days of account opening and after the required minimum opening deposit is made. There is a limit of one reward per household (same address). The amount of the reward will be reported to the IRS as interest income. Your account must remain open for 180 calendar days, or the amount of the bonus will be deducted from the account at closing. Offer available to Ohio residents only.

  • Applied 12/5/21 Sunday night, 80 miles from closest branch. Deal fine print still says valid to Dec 31, 2021 as Ying said.
    Auto accepted the application (no auto deny for zip). Allowed CC funding up to 250k total it said, with options for $100, $1250, and some other amounts up. Default selected is $100 each. I selected $1250 for the checking and savings for cc for CFF for a total of $2500 shows as Pending.
    Fingers crossed! 80 mi away from closest branch.

    • Denied by email, no mail followup. The CFF $2500 pending dropped and never registered. Was worth a try!

  • Denied after pulling chex report. (reason being X does not meet credit or other application criteria)

    Chex sensitive bank.
