Free Checking Account FAQ

Find answers to common questions about our Free Checking account and the $200 bonus.

We’ll need your Social Security Number, a government-issued ID, date of birth, and a U.S. physical address. If your physical address is different from that on your ID, proof of address will also be needed. A soft credit inquiry will be made during the account opening process, which will not affect your credit rating.

The bonus will then be credited to your account automatically after these conditions are met.
