Many data points indicating push from Fidelity codes as DD. Be sure to log into Fidelity and push the funds to Amex -- not log into Amex and pull from Fidelity.

Yes, for checking. It's a pretty good rate for a checking account.
So just transferring that $1000 from Fedlity to the Amex checking worked for you?
Im not sure wise or fidelity triggered the bonus thats why i did both, there is a searching tool on comment section so you can look up for fidelity/wise or whatever bank/financial institution you would like.
How much are they taking out for you?
