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.

The direct deposit threshold for the checking bonus is somewhat steep to earn the max bonus amount, but if you have the income, this is an easy bonus. 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.

3. Associated Bank Associated Checking - up to $600 bonus

Associated Bank is back with their personal checking bonus but this time offering a much higher payout. The requirements remain the same: direct deposits totaling $500 plus maintaining a minimum balance.

The offer is tiered so that the more you maintain, the more you earn, with $10,000 earning the full $600. Fortunately, all accounts titled to the primary account holder count toward this balance, including CDs, savings, MMA, and IRAs – so you don't even have to tie up your funds in a checking account to qualify.

Personal Savings Bonuses in Missouri

Here are the current personal savings promotions available in MO:

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.

Robinhood is a commission-free stock trading platform that's had mixed headlines in the news (GME, what?). But Robinhood is a popular choice – particularly among beginner investors – due to their sleek, easy-to-use app.

This is a program that many investment apps now offer, but Robinhood pioneered: sign up and get a free stock. The stock has a 98% chance of being worth $5-$10, so this isn't an amazing bonus, but it's something for almost nothing (you don't even need to fund your account). The stock will hit your account within a week, and is tradeable 2 days after that.
