[PA only] TruMark Financial $250 Checking Bonus

Update 4/25/26: Bonus is now $250. Hat tip to Bockrr

Update 6/13/20: Deal is back and valid until August 16th, 2020. Slightly better than before as fewer requirements for the same bonus. Most recent DP says soft pull, but previous datapoints say hard so YMMV. Hat tip to reader Ki

The Offer

Direct link to offer

• TruMark Financial is offering a $250 bonus when you open a new Momentum Checking Account and receive qualifying direct deposits totaling $1,000 or more within 90 days of account opening. 

The Fine Print

• To qualify for the $250 bonus, member must open a new Momentum Checking Account and receive qualifying direct deposits totaling $1,000 or more within 90 days of account opening. Qualifying direct deposits include payroll, pension, or government benefits made via ACH; person-to-person payments, account transfers, mobile deposits, cash, and wire transfers do not qualify. $250 bonus will be awarded via 25,000 rewards points, redeemable through the Credit Union’s rewards portal, approximately 6–8 weeks after requirements are met. Member may not have had a checking account with the Credit Union within the past 12 months. Account must be open and in good standing at time of fulfillment. Offer valid through 6/30/26 and subject to change or discontinuation at any time.
• You’re required to pay taxes on all bank account bonuses

Avoiding Fees

Monthly fee is waived if you do any of the following:

• Receive $1,000 or more in total electronic deposits, or
• Make 15 combined debit and credit card transactions, or
• Be under age 26

Our Verdict

Update: Now that it is a hard pull I wouldn’t recommend this bonus as you’d be able to get a much higher credit card sign up bonus.

Pretty good bonus as you can get a lot of it without a direct deposit, there are no monthly fees to worry about and you can fund with a credit card. Because of that we’ve added it to our best checking bonus page.

Big thanks to reader, Doug who let us know. Please consider sharing bank bonuses with this site so we can make it even better.
