Big initial deposit required, but banks paying 4.3% on savings typically do not pay sign-up bonuses. Getting both a good rate and SUB is nice, and unusual.

No direct deposit games - nice. Finally, a bank that doesn't care where the money comes from.

The risk here is that you have to keep $5k in for 60-90 days to get the 4.3%, but CIT can lower the rate in that timeframe. However, CIT has historically had good rates on this account for quite a while - not at the very top of what is available, but certainly within shooting distance of the top. I would expect them to remain competitive.

Western Alliance out in AZ also has 4.3% & only $500 min deposit, but no sign up bonus.

I think yes, but not sure. And I've been happy with CIT, too.

per the other forum more focused on this kind of bonuses that I look at, you can take the money 2 days later as long as it was deposited with the amount required.
