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.

I asked that earlier and didn't get a response, so I went ahead and applied with my credit frozen. No issues.
from another site someone posted the following after contacting CIT via secure messaging:
The qualified DEPOSIT amount must be received prior to the expiration of the funding period. There is no restriction to withdrawals made from the account
1. I'd move my money out of my existing CIT account to a non-CIT account first.
2. Wait for a day. (I'll probably lose the interest for a day).
3. Enroll using the link and offer code
4. Move the money back into my CIT account and leave it there (for at least 30+ days)
5. I'll wait for the bonus…

That was 4 days ago (incl weekend) so I guess I just have to wait to hear back from them at some point by end of week... annoying

This means for 25K deposit, actual APY will be ~3.49% (first 5K at 0.25% and remaining 20K at 4.3%) and not 4.3% as being advertised. For higher deposit, it will be better, but would never reach 4.3%.

I called ChexSystems, went through verification and they removed my freeze.
