They also have branches in Arizona, Colorado, Delaware, Washington D.C., Florida, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Utah, Virginia, Washington, and West Virginia. If you’re a US Citizen you can open up an account online but to get the bonus you must be near a branch that qualifies.

To avoid the $6.95 monthly service charge you need to do one of the following:
1. Direct deposits of $200 or more per month.
2. Make 10 or more debit card purchases or payments per month.
3. Keep an average balance of $500 or more throughout the month.

This bank seems to have a highly conservative definition of a direct deposits as electronic deposits such as payroll or Social Security and do not include electronic money transfers or credits such as bank account or Paypal transfers.
