If the account is closed within 6 months from the account opening date, the bonus may be forfeited or deducted at closing.


Sounds great!

They collected all my information. SSN, employer, DL, Etc. They sent me a 6-digit security code to my phone, which I correct entered into their website. After entering the correct 2FA code, it asked for it *again*, and an email came through rejecting my checking account application without explanation. Bizarre. Never turned away from an account in my life. Oh well. There goes my personal information into another database.

Chinese Lunar New Year.

In China...

Number 3 is associated with living
Number 8 is associated wealth

A grouping of 3 items is considered extremely lucky.

So, 388 means live wealthy x2 with luck.

Worked for a medsurg company that had a Chinese director of r&d. Our 888 camera was an incredible seller. He named it that, so found out what all the numbers meant in China.

Same. nothing received and with all the posts on this and change on terms I am wondering if there is a way to cancel the whole thing.

i got the rejection email today. went to a local branch and signed up there. no problems with promo nor previous rejection

the clerk said the site completely backtracked and will only accept in branch sign ups.

These clowns said they would get back to me in 3 business days. It's been longer than that and they haven't reached out to me

They're a Korean bank.. my mom used them for years for everything until I took over her finances. They're fine but they primarily cater to the Korean-American clientele.
Could have fooled me. I guess they are targeting Chinese with this promotion since they have an ad in full Chinese.

Quote from LivelySink338 :
I just called them and they said this offer is branch only, so even if you signed up online I would not expect the bonus payout
A week later theyve finally enabled me to be able to add external accounts, and the initial funding i tried finally went through. Will add my work direct deposit next paycheck and wait. These farking idiots better not try to claim it's in branch only, when it clearly was an online offer when we all signed up. They were obviously not prepared for the slickdeal effect. Will be fun to file a complaint with whatever regulatory body is in charge of these things. If anyone actually gets the 388 from signing up last week, please update the thread.

They sent me an email today saying they couldn't open my account because the application wasn't complete. …. But the account has been opened and funded (with balance showing available) for more than a week. My employer direct deposit will go in on this Wednesday. What are these idiots doing?

This offer is in person or physical branch only, right?

Unless I am missing something from the provided link, I don't see an option to sign up

Call center back up for application reviews!

They're still honoring the code and are still working the backlog?

So if it allowed me to sign up it doesn't mean I get the promo if I'm not in one of those states?
