U.S. Bank is offering up to a $450 bonus for opening a new U.S. Bank Smartly® Checking. This is back towards the lower end of bonuses we've seen from U.S. Bank.

You'll have 90 days to reach this target, but keep in mind that unlike some banks that let you hit the bonus in a single transaction, U.S. Bank requires at least two direct deposits to qualify for this promotion.

Personal Savings Bonuses in Kansas
Here are the current personal savings promotions available in KS:
1. Commerce Bank myRewards Savings - up to $40 bonus
Commerce Bank offers a small boost to your savings: open a myRewards savings account, and they'll match your average monthly deposit, up to $20 per account. You can repeat this for up to 5 accounts, but they cap the reward at $40 total. So, if you're depositing $20 into each account, you're actually capped at the first 2 accounts.
This is an annual benefit of the account (versus a one-time welcome offer). So, while the amount is low, it's a good deal for those putting money into savings accounts anyway.
This used to be a $50 offer ($100 total each year), but they've since decreased the reward.
