The Offer

Have your direct deposits totaling $500 or more made to this account
Complete 30 debit card purchase transactions with your new Kirkpatrick Bank debit card
The Fine Print
Offer not available to existing Kirkpatrick Bank checking customers or those whose accounts have been closed within 90 days or closed with a negative balance within the last three years.
The promo ends on 10/31/2024 and your checking account must be opened by then to be eligible for bonus offer.
To receive the bonus, open a new Kirkpatrick Bank checking account, which is subject to approval, and complete one of the two qualifying events within 90 days of account opening date:

Person-to-person payments (such as Zelle®) are not considered a direct deposit. Micro-deposits do not qualify as a direct deposit for the bonus. Micro-deposits are small deposits, typically less than $1, that are sent to your account to verify it is the correct account; OR
2) Complete 30 debit card purchase transactions with your new Kirkpatrick Bank debit card. Multiple swipes for the same purchase amount or at the same merchant in succession do not qualify for eligible debit card purchase transactions.
Once you have completed one of above requirements, we’ll deposit the bonus in your new account within 15 days.

Avoiding Fees
Monthly Fees
This account has no monthly fees to worry about.
Early Account Termination Fee
I wasn’t able to find a fee schedule so unsure if there is any EATF.
