We listed the personal bank accounts here but below you will find the business checking incentives by banks for 2018 so far. See more here about Business Credit Cards.
Bank of America $2,500 Business Checking Bonus – Nationwide
Massive bonus and most people should be able to get $1,000 without too much fuss if they can meet the $50,000 deposit requirement. Looks like you’ll need a real and significant business to get the full $2,500 as it requires merchant services and other business related services.
- Soft pull
- No funding for in-brach opening
Wells Fargo $300 Business Checking Bonus – Almost Nationwide
This excludes the following states: Louisiana, Oklahoma, Missouri, Kentucky, West Virginia, Massachusetts, Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine and Hawaii. Not quite as good as the previous bonus, but still well worth doing.
- Soft pull
- No credit card funding available in branch
- Direct deposit not required
First Bank Financial Centre $300 Business Checking – WI Only
Requires 50 transactions within 180 days of account opening and that includes debit card transactions. Also super easy to keep the account fee free. There is also a $300 personal checking bonus you can do at the same time.
- Soft pull
- No credit card funding
- Direct deposit not required
MB Financial Bank $350 Business Checking – IL, IN, or PA
Main downside to this bonus is the $5,000 deposit requirement, otherwise it’s very easy to get the bonus and keep account fee free. Worth doing if you live within the area.
- Soft pull
- Unknown credit card funding
- No direct deposit required
PNC Up To $400 Business Checking – OH, MI, FL, AL, GA, MD, KY, IN, PA
I’d recommend the $200/$300 bonuses as the $400 bonus requires $25,000 deposited. The other two are much more manageable ($3,000 for the $300 bonus).
- Soft pull
- Direct deposit not required
- Personal accounts can be funded with $2,000 with a credit card
SunTrust $200 Business Checking – AL, AR, FL, GA, MD, MS, NC, SC, TN, WV, VA, and D.C Only
Bonus requirements are very easy (deposit $1,500 or more) and there is no monthly fee to worry about. Must do if you live in the area.
- Soft pull
- No direct deposit required
Flushing Bank $200 Business Checking Bonus – NY & NJ
Bonus requirements are easy to meet and there are no monthly fees to worry about.
- Soft pull
- Direct deposit not required
Provident Credit Union $150 In Branch Business Checking Bonus – CA
Used to require a balance of $10,000 to keep fee free, but that is no longer a requirement making this bonus worth doing if you live near a branch.
- Soft pull
- Credit card funding up to $1,000
- Direct deposit not required
First Tennessee $300 Business + $150 Savings In Branch Bonus
Needs to be open in branch and requires a daily balance of $10,000 to keep fee free, apart from that this is a great bonus and worth doing if you live near a branch.
- No credit card funding
- Direct deposit not required
Chase $200 Business Savings Bonus
Basically the same as the personal savings bonus. Requires a $15,000 deposit for 90 days. Works out to be an annualized return of over 5% APY.
- Soft pull
- Can’t find with a credit card in branch
- $15,000 required for 90 days
Liberty Bank – $100 Business Checking Bonus – CT, MA, RI
Relatively small bonus, but no monthly fees to worry about and there are also no bonus requirements. Can also open a personal account at the same time for another $100 (this does require a direct deposit for the bonus)
- Can fund up to $500 with a credit card per account
- Direct deposit with no minimum required
- Soft pull
