Guru’s Wrap-Up

Old Second Bank is offering a bonus of $300 for new checking and savings accounts. You get $50 hen you open the checking account and get the debit card and enroll in e-Statements. Then there’s a $100 bonus for two direct deposits totaling $500 or more. And lastly a $150 bonus for a Money Builder Savings account. It requires a $5,000 balance but from terms it looks like you just need to have that balance on the 90th calendar day from the date you opened the personal checking account. One thing to keep in mind is that this bank might be ChexSystems sensitive.
