M&T's consumer footprint covers NY, NJ, PA, CT, MD, DE, VA, WV, DC, MA, ME, NH and VT. The cash bonus is ZIP targeted, so enter your home ZIP code on the offer page to see the amount available where you live.

The bonus is credited within 90 days of the account receiving the qualifying direct deposits. One bonus per customer, only the primary signer qualifies, and you are not eligible if you received a cash bonus on a personal M&T checking account in the last 12 months.

Available to customers who live in First Commonwealth Bank's markets: Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky and West Virginia. Opening online is only available to residents of PA, OH and select KY ZIP codes, and the online application checks your ZIP on the first page; everyone else opens in person or by phone at 844.711.2265. One checking reward per customer. You are not eligible if any owner on the new account already had a First Commonwealth personal checking account opened before this one, or was paid a First Commonwealth promotional credit on a personal checking account in the past 12 months. Qualifying deposits are funds new to the bank, including transfers from another institution, in person and ATM deposits, and mobile or remote deposit capture.

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.

Membership: Maryland residents or residents of surrounding states (DC, DE, PA, VA, WV); residents of other states are not eligible. This is SECU of Maryland, not the separate SECU in North Carolina. Existing SECU members who do not have a checking account can take this offer too, not just brand new members. You are ineligible if you or a former membership had a SECU checking account in the last 24 months, or if you received a SECU checking promo bonus in the last 24 months. One per member, accounts must be in good standing, and the bonus is reported on a 1099-MISC. Bonus within 60 days of meeting the requirements. Valid through 8/31/2026.

New business checking customers only. Use promo code BD, which applies automatically if you open online. Online opening is available to sole proprietors only, so any other entity type has to go into a branch. Your tier is set by the average ledger balance in the third full calendar month after you open, and the money is credited by the end of the fourth month. State restricted to CT, DC, DE, MD, NJ, NY, PA, VA and WV. Open by September 30, 2026. The bonus opens Business Essential at $5 a month waived at a $1,000 average ledger balance, Plus at $15 waived at $7,500, or Premium at $25 waived at $10,000, so pick the account whose threshold your deposit already clears; the fee is also waived automatically for the first three months, which covers most of the hold. Closing within 180 days costs $50 and forfeits the bonus.

Membership: People First FCU serves the Allentown and Lehigh Valley area of Pennsylvania. This bonus is published on the credit union's employer group pages rather than its main checking page, so ask about it by name when you apply. Not available to existing People First checking members, to anyone whose account was closed in good standing within the past 12 months, or to anyone who has ever closed an account with a negative balance. Not available for account conversions. Limited to one $250 bonus per taxpayer identification number. The $250 is held frozen in your account until the account is 6 months old and released after that, so plan on waiting half a year to touch it. No stated end date.
