Beware this bank uses every possible avenue to deny your bonus. They claimed ach transfers from my other non US bank accounts to this account weren't "new" funds or money

edit: mods, why did you remove my edit comment telling others that were telling me I did it wrong to go kick rocks!?!
Lol usbank is terrible
Lol our Banks are broke.

The date on the letter with the check says it closed on 7/11

If you don't mind me asking, how much was your fund?

So you received a letter with the check inside? I received the letter but no check at all. Wtf

It's more like a stub with the check at the bottom of the page. I received an actual letter 7/10 saying they couldn't approve the application due to various attempts to verify identity (there were no attempts).

Is the stub with the check in the same mail as the actual letter? Or are they different mails? I need to file a complaint

No, they came as separate mailings/envelopes on two different days

No problem, good luck. I need to find time to call them too to see what's going on with it. Such a hassle.

The money is categorized as "interest" and receives a 1099-INT. Therefore if they fail to cough up the $750 that I qualified for I believe it's a good bet that financial regulators will have a letter from me soon.

They wouldn't share the account number when i called without the PIN. He asked me to visit the branch to get it. How did you manage to get the account number via phone call?
Got mine in the first call. Just told the agent that I received the email with only the last 4 digit of my account number and I needed the whole number to register online.
Call until one provides you the number.

How MUCH did you try to fund via an external transfer?? More than $2.5k?
And just to clarify, did you initiate the transfer FROM US Bank's website's each time?
Did you ever try to PUSH money from your external bank to US Bank??

initiated from the US Bank web site - max daily amount of 2500. found out since this post that my son tried to deposit a payroll check INTO his own USB account and it rejected due to a $200 daily deposit limit. So dumb

Currently using Novo for my LLC checking. Does this provide cloud invoice services and checks for free?

This is a scam, hooboy, this bank really is pulling a fast one to steal money. Here's how it works:

They say (for $750)

1) Open the account

2) Fund "within 30 days of account opening" with $15k new money

3) Maintain $15k "until 60th day after account opening"

4) "The business checking bonus will be deposited into your new U.S. Bank Business Checking account within 45 days of balance verification, as long as the account is open and has a positive balance."

"Account verification" in any sense would be that you met the requirements of the promotion. That would normally be when they check on the 60th day to see you maintained the $15k balance from at least the 30th to the 60th day "after account opening," as well as used their mobile access, case closed.

Welllll…. USBANK is pulling a fast one that is probably illegal: they are NOW saying that you have to keep that $15,000 with them indefinitely until they get around to "verifying" the account, and that can take a long time because they have lots of customers. THE OFFER SAYS "AS LONG AS THE ACCOUNT IS OPEN AND YOU HAVE A POSITIVE BALANCE." And not, "keep $15k+ with us indefinitely."

Time to figure out who the best regulator is to go after them if they fail to pay the promised interest/"promotion." It's in black and white and their representative was interpreting something completely different from what the contract agrees to. When I read what it says and what that means in English, she claims she's "not an attorney." Wow.

I can only surmise that US Bank is in pretty bad condition if they have to resort to fleecing people in such an obvious manner. I'm keeping my balance extremely low in case FDIC has to close them up soon.

Since I couldn't fund immediately I need to send in a form by email. Do I need to fund the $5k/15k upfront or can I send a $500 initial deposit followed by the remainder within 30 days?

I funded US bank from my bank of america while opening the account. but I could not add US bank account to BOA. I provided routing number, account number but BOA throws error "We were unable to verify your account", such a terrible bank

Tried calling twice. Each time I was placed on hold and then disconnected. Seems intentional. Will try again tomorrow but has anyone got their bonus or was able to speak to a U.S. Bank rep about it?
