The Offer

Direct link to offer

• Mutual Security Credit Union is offering a $250 bonus when you open a new business checking account and complete the following requirements:
  • Make 20 debit transactions within 60 days and keep your account in good standing to qualify

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

Basic business checking has a $10 monthly fee and that is waived with a $1,000 minimum daily balance. 

Early Account Termination Fee

I wasn’t able to find any mention of an early account termination fee in the fee schedule

Our Verdict

There is also a $100 personal checking bonus, but that has been as high as $250 in the past. I suspect this $250 business checking bonus will eventually go down to $100 so if you’re interested I’d sign up before the deadline. We will add this to our list of the best checking bonuses as the requirements are easy just remember you need $1,000 in the account to keep it fee free.
