The Offer

Direct link to offer

• Veridian Credit Union is offering a $300 bonus when you open a new premium checking account and complete the following requirements in months 4, 5, 6, 7 after account opening:
  • Requires 15 debit card purchases averaging at least $10 each month (Transactions must settle and post to the associated card account between the first day of the month and the second to last day of the month.)
  • Requires direct deposit of your net income of $250 or more each month
  • Enroll in online banking or the Veridian mobile app

The Fine Print

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

Avoiding Fees

Monthly Fees

These accounts have no monthly fees to worry about.

Early Account Termination Fee

I wasn’t able to find a fee schedule so unsure if there is any EATF.

Our Verdict

Bit annoying how this is structured as you need to remember to do the requirements in months 4-7. We also don’t know if it’s a hard or soft pull or if this bank is chexsystems sensitive. Please share your experiences below.
