Before you sign up
- This is a balance requirement, not a deposit requirement. $5,000 has to be the average daily balance for 90 days - money that arrives and is spent does not count, however much of it passes through.
- A promotion code must be entered when the account is opened, or applied within 14 days. The page reveals the code after you give a name and email address, and the steps say to open in a branch.
- Zelle, Venmo, wire transfers, ATM and teller deposits and your own online transfers are all excluded from what counts as a direct deposit.
- A bank bonus is income and the bank reports it, here on a 1099-INT. If you file a 1040-NR the paperwork is not the same as for a citizen.
