Bonuses available in North Carolina
New Truist checking customers only; not eligible if a Truist checking account was closed on or after 7/14/2025. Expires 2/2/2027.
Available online (promo code EZV3F2M) or in-branch. Ineligible if you held a personal Regions checking account within the prior 12 months. Register by Dec 31, 2026; open by Jan 31, 2027.
New business checking customers only, state restricted, apply by October 14, 2026. The two tiers have DIFFERENT funding deadlines: Unlimited Business Checking pays $400 for total new money deposits of $5,000 or more within 60 days of opening, while Unlimited Plus pays $1,000 only if $20,000 or more lands within 30 days and then sits at $20,000 or more for the next 60 days. Both require keeping the account open for 90 days. Plan on paying the monthly fee through the hold: Unlimited is $20 a month waived only at a $10,000 total deposit relationship, Unlimited Plus is $40 a month waived only at $50,000, and neither the $5,000 nor the $20,000 deposit clears its own threshold because the cash bonus does not count toward it.
