Or does it need to be direct deposit from say an employer?

The issue is actually getting the account set up. If you are not in their "footprint" they will never accept you for checking. Instead start with Savings or CD, (optionally one of their good credit cards like the Cash+ or Altitudes) and then they will approve you for this.

I'm glad it worked out for you guys and lucky.
In my case I was denied saying I was not invited.
Where I fulfill all requirements over a 3 month period. Then around the 5th month it was completely denied. I contacted customer service multiple times, where the offer was advertised on their website and said nothing about an invitation. Eventually I gave up. I will never deal with the US Bank due to this reason.

$460 Limited Time Checking Account Bonus Offer - BMO https://share.google/NTwn6kSWloW7H9k
I tried the OPs, it's said bonus loaded the whole way. I linked my fidelity account, hopefully the deposits from there count.
I just did a combo of ebay payments and one chase checking account transfer of $2040.
