Some banks offer bonuses for opening personal checking accounts but not business accounts. If you’re looking for banks that have special deals for business accounts, Chase is offering a $100 bonus for opening a business checking account.
Sign up on the Chase website to receive a $100 coupon by email. You have to take the coupon to a Chase branch and open a business checking account. The $100 bonus is deposited into your account within 10 days of meeting the minimum deposit requirement.
Other details of the checking account offer include:
- Minimum deposit of $500 with funds from a non-Chase bank account within 30 days of opening
- Limit of one business checking account-related premium per customer each year
- Interest bearing checking accounts available to sole proprietors, non-profits, and government entities
- No monthly service fee
- Up to 200 transactions per month on a Chase BusinessClassic Checking or Chase BusinessClassic Checking with Interest
Free checking accounts require you to do one of the following:
- Make five or more debit card purchases during each statement period
- Link the checking account to a Chase Business Credit Card that has a balance above $0 at least once during the statement cycle
- Link the business account to a Chase personal checking account
- Maintain a monthly average balance of $4,000 to $7,500 depending upon the region
The $100 bonus offer expires March 15, 2010.
