Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria, it's a huge bank in Spain and lots of Latin America. However apparently the USA division is 100% independent and runs their own accounts. As pointed out above PNC purchased this USA division and will fold it in (BBVA will still exist globally)

Beware BBVA!!! I had an account with them and it was nothing but trouble. They have horrible customer service. If you open an account with them....watch them like a hawk.

Here are some details about the accounts. Looks like $0 min balance for Checking. $500 min balance for Savings or they charge a $15 quarterly fee.

BBVA Free Checking
A free checking account with full-service features.

Features and fees:
No ATM fees at BBVA USA ATMs
Free Online Banking and Mobile Banking
Visa® Debit Card with cash back rewards
No monthly Service Charge
No Paper Statement Fee
Low opening deposit requirement ($25)

BBVA Savings
A savings safety net that earns you interest. Open the account with as little as a $25 deposit.

Features and fees:
No quarterly Service Charge with a daily collected balance of $500 or more, otherwise you may be subject to a $15 quarterly Service Charge
Earn interest on your savings account balance
Up to 4 withdrawals per statement cycle fee free
24/7 online access with Online and Mobile Banking
$3 quarterly Paper Statement Fee–opt for free electronic statements and save fee

I opened an account a few months ago with a similar offer (maybe the same). I've received both bonuses. There was something with Savings that if there was a $25 deposit every month, you avoided the fee. I'm moving $25 from Checking each month, then just moving it right back. Hopefully that works for the year it needs to be opened.

Agreed. I was a customer of theirs for 7 years, and then they started doing weird overdraft fee actions, like clearing large transactions so they could ding me for 2 overdrafts instead of doing it in chronological order wherein I'd only have one overdraft.
I went to a credit union instead. And I boosted my credit score, lowered my car payment interest, got discounted car insurance, got free $2,000 life insurance, got free checking, and got free ATMs at 7-11 and other credit unions(there's a few more of those than BBVA ATMs).

It's CANVAS CREDIT UNION in Colorado.

Yep! I did a BBVA bonus around this time last year. It's almost time to close it out now. 0 bucks the whole time.
eligible accounts include BBVA Premium Checking, BBVA Convenience Checking (only available in Florida and California), BBVA Free Checking and BBVA Easy Checking, BBVA Free Checking and Easy Checking are only available in Alabama, Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, New Mexico and Texas.

If you're in one of those states, you can have a free account. Otherwise the rest of us have to maintain the 500 until account close which is 1 year

No, there are plenty of dogs in index funds right now. I closed all my funds last March and targeted very specific companies in specific industries. Happy to share more of my specific targets pver PM. I'm up 196% for the year, while the S&P index was up ~18%.

CA resident, just applied.

Needs an initial deposit of $25 to each checking and savings account (so, $50 total).
Instantly approved basically (new grad job, <1 YoE)
It seems like the savings accounts needs $1000 for 1year for the $50 bonus or something?O.o

Also, how to check on the status of the bonus? I can't see anything of the bonus offer details in the online dashboard:/
