  • Deposit $1,000 in new money.

The Fine Print

• Limit one promotional account per customer.
• Offer is non transferrable. Don’t think this is enforced
• Businesses which currently own or have had a Rockland Trust Business Checking account within the 90 days prior to the account open date are not eligible.
• To be eligible for the $250 bonus you must open a new Business Checking account with $1,000 of new money to Rockland Trust between November 1, 2017 and January 31, 2018 at our Westwood branch office located at 670 High Street, Westwood, MA.
• The bonus will be paid directly to your account by April 30, 2018.
• Bonus payment will be reported to the IRS for the tax year in which it is paid. For new accounts funded by new money to Rockland Trust.
• Account must be opened by January 31, 2017. Pretty sure this should be 2018.
• Offer may be discontinued at any time without prior notice.
• Transaction restrictions apply. See banker for details. Fees may reduce earnings.
• Offer valid only at our Westwood office location.
• All bank account bonuses are treated as income/interest and as such you have to pay taxes on them

Avoiding Fees

This account has no monthly fees.

Our Verdict

Seems like a great deal if you live near the branch as the only requirements are depositing $1,000. I’ll add this to the best business checking bonuses once we have some more datapoints of people successfully opening the account. They also have a $200 personal bonus that is targeted.
