After the 60th day of keeping the account open, do I have to keep the minimum balance to $1500 to avoid monthly fee? Or I can keep it as $500 to avoid any fee?

I don't know why, I can still see the same $300 bonus even when I open the link provided by swimsnoon.

I recently opened an account with them and it was $200 at that time, today saw this and was surprised, thought it can be helpful for someone.

Edit: uploaded attachment, I just posted the content from the page provided by swimsnoon.

I see $300 too. I suspect that they need to clear their cache or something.

They will let you make a deposit of amount $500 from your checking account? I am living in TX they don't have any branches here, so I can't make deposit at branches.

I think you have option to open an account from the landing page itself.

So dumb question. If I deposit 500, leave it for 60 days, then withdraw and close my account...do I get to keep the 200/300$?
