What Counts as Direct Deposit
Employer payroll is always the safest method. "Maybe" means some people report it working and it is not guaranteed. Open a row to see the individual reports.
Open a new Cashback Free Checking or Chiefs Checking account with promo code SPRING26, then within 90 days enroll in eStatements and complete two or more direct deposits. Total direct deposits of $2,000 to $4,999.99 pay $150, $5,000 to $9,999.99 pay $250, and $10,000 or more pay $400. Source
The reports come from Doctor of Credit comment threads, public Reddit posts, and members who told us what happened to their own deposit. Each one is dated where the person gave a date. Read how we check offers.
