5/3 Bank is legit. However, They start charging $8usd per cashier check now. They say no more waiving this fee. Time to switch a different bank. Anyone know any banks that don't charge fee for cashier check?

So this account can be closed after receiving bonus? For Chase 225 account has to be maintained for 6 months
Anyone?
I wanted to do this, since it's just a soft pull

5/3 is on the low end of cashier check fees. Last I saw was $4 but I assume they've raised it. BoA charges $15!

Can people share what specific types of $500 direct deposits/ACH transactions qualified to trigger the $300 bonus, e.g. did an ACH transfer from a brokerage account or savings account from a different bank work?

What method did you use to transfer the funds from your other bank? Zelle?
