Grab this $150 checking account bonus

Finally, a break for banking savers that actually rewards us with more cash than we’d spend on Happy Meals for the kids. Northfield Bank has a terrific promotion for folks opening a new Really Free Checking Plus account — a whopping (for these days, anyway) $150 bonus. That’s enough money to actually make a dent in back-to-school purchases in the fall. And, even better, there’s no initial minimum deposit required to get the free cash!

Let’s look at the details. To get the $150 bonus you have to meet the following requirements within 90 days of opening your checking account:

Make at least five purchases using a Northfield debit card. Make at least three bill payments online. Make a recurring direct deposit of at least $400.

Other advantages of a Really Free Checking Plus account include:

No minimum balance required. Unlimited check writing. No maintenance fees. Telephone banking. FDIC insured. Free online banking. Free Visa debit card. Free online bill paying. Branches in Brooklyn, Staten Island, and central New Jersey.

Caveats:

One reward per household. Account must be open at the end of 90 days.

In addition to all of the above benefits, Northfield Bank isn’t one of the new kids on the block. They’ve been around since 1887, when they began business as Northfield Building Loan…
