The Offer

No direct link to offer, being sent out to existing clients currently. Suspect there will be a public bonus at some stage and we will repost when this is the case.

• Capital One is offering a bonus of $600 when you open a new business checking account and complete the following requirements:
  • Use promo code BIZCHK600
  • Deposit $10,000 within 30 days of account opening
  • Maintain a balance of $10,000+ for 60 of the first 90 days of account opening
  • Complete 10 eligible transactions (not including debit card, need to be ACH debits or credits and a few other options)

The Fine Print

• You’re eligible as long as you haven’t had a business account. for that business in the past 90 days
• All bank account bonuses are treated as income/interest and as such you have to pay taxes on them

Avoiding Fees

Monthly Fees

Basic business checking has a $15 monthly service fee, waived with $2,000 minimum balance

Early Account Termination Fee

There is no early account termination fee

Our Verdict

Not sure when the last Capital One business checking bonus was, I do think this is worth doing if you are targeted and hopefully it becomes public. If you put the $10,000 into a 5% account for the 60 days you’d earn ~$84 so this is significantly better.
