Best bank bonuses in Massachusetts

There is no online application for this account. The only way in is to book an appointment with a KeyBank banker and open it with them, so you need to be able to reach one of KeyBank's branches. The states listed are where those branches are. KeyBank's terms for this business offer set no residency rule and exclude no state, so if you can get to a branch you can open it.

Massachusetts only. Community bank with branches in the Dedham area. Not available to anyone with an existing or prior Dedham Savings personal checking account.

Limited to Pittsfield/Hinsdale area in Massachusetts. Does not work out of state.

New checking customers only (none in the last 12 months). Open online by December 11, 2026.

Targeted: KeyBank's terms say you must have received a personalized $500 Business Banking offer letter from them, and you open by appointment with a banker rather than online. Schedule that appointment by December 18, 2026. Make the $25 minimum opening deposit and get to $5,000 or more within 30 days, then keep a minimum daily balance of $5,000 or more for the first 90 days; if the balance dips below $5,000 even once in that window you lose the bonus. The $500 is paid within 60 days of meeting the requirements. You cannot have held a KeyBank business checking or savings account in the past 12 months, and the branch network covers AK, CO, CT, ID, IN, MA, ME, MI, NY, OH, OR, PA, UT, VT and WA. Open Basic Business Checking, which is $5 a month waived at a $1,000 average ledger balance so the $5,000 hold covers it; do not open Key Business Reward Checking, which is $25 a month and needs $7,500 to waive.

Citizens offers personal checking in 14 states plus DC: Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia and Washington DC. The offer terms themselves name no excluded states. You must not have been a signer on another Citizens personal checking or savings account in the previous six months, and the account has to be opened through the link on the offer page rather than in a branch.

Rockland Trust (Massachusetts).

bankESB (Easthampton Savings Bank; western MA). One account per tax owner, you must be at least 16, and anyone who has previously received a bankESB checking bonus is not eligible.

The $200 checking offer's own page states only "when you open a Metro Checking account", does not say whether an existing member with another Metro Credit Union account can qualify, and states no minimum opening deposit.

New customers only, and HSBC's definition is a lifetime one: "A 'New Customer' is someone who doesn't have a current or past HSBC account in the U.S. on file." A closed HSBC U.S. account from any point in the past disqualifies you, so this is not a 12-month or 24-month lookback. The Premier checking account must be opened by December 31, 2026. Premier qualification criteria also govern the $50 monthly fee waiver, with $100,000 in combined balances given as the example. Nationwide.

New Chase business checking customers only. You are not eligible if your business already has a Chase business checking account, if you closed one within 90 days of opening it, or if you closed one with a negative balance in the past three years. Government entities, political action committees and campaign accounts are excluded, as are JPMorgan Chase employees. A signer can take one Chase business checking offer every two years counted from the last enrollment date, and only one offer applies per account. Chase does not open business deposit accounts for Hawaii businesses, so Hawaii owners cannot use this one. Chase business CREDIT CARDS are still available in Hawaii. Expires October 15, 2026.

Business checking. Promo code Q3DIG26. Expires September 27, 2026. New business checking customers only. Two accounts qualify and they are not priced the same: $1,200 needs the Platinum Business Checking Package and $25,000 held, and $400 needs U.S. Bank Business Essentials and $5,000 held. Business Essentials has no monthly maintenance fee. Platinum lists $30 a month but waives it at a $25,000 average collected checking balance, which is the same money the bonus asks you to hold.

Your business has to have annual revenue under $10 million. PNC states that limit on the offer itself, so check it before you plan anything else. New PNC business checking customers only, which means no signer on the account may already have signing authority on a PNC business checking account, have closed one in the past 90 days, or have been paid a PNC promotional premium in the past 12 months. Open a Treasury Enterprise Plan account between July 1, 2026 and September 30, 2026 and keep an average ledger balance of $30,000 or more for each of your first three statement cycles. Only the master account balance counts, so money sitting in linked beneficiary accounts does not. Your statements must cycle monthly; accounts on daily, weekly or quarterly statements are excluded. The plan lists at $50 a month but is $0 for the first three statement cycles and is waived at a $30,000 average balance, so the hold itself covers the fee. Analysis Business Checking also qualifies for the same $1,000, but avoid it unless you have a reason: its fee is only offset by an earnings credit on much larger balances, so at $30,000 you would still pay around $25 a month.

New business checking customers only. A business is not eligible if it currently owns a Wells Fargo business checking account or has closed one in the past 90 days. Sole proprietors qualify, and no LLC is required.
