Personal Checking Bonuses in Pennsylvania
Here are the current personal checking promotions available in PA:
1. TD Bank Beyond Checking - $300 bonus
TD Bank is offering a $300 welcome bonus for opening a personal checking account and using direct deposit within the first 2 months. What's more, you can maximize this promo by also opening a new personal savings account — stacking an extra $200 on top of this offer for a total of $500.
If the $2,500 in direct deposit is too high, they're also running a smaller offer with only a $500 deposit requirement.
While this isn't available nationwide, it is open to a healthy list of states, and is no longer targeted to select customers.
If you're eligible, we definitely recommend claiming this easy bonus.

15. Clearview Absolute Checking - up to $500 bonus
Clearview Federal Credit Union is offering new members up to $500 for opening an Absolute Checking account.
The base offer is $300 for the checking account, and there are two additional "bonuses" on top: (1) $100 for opening a new savings account (your choice between a traditional savings account, MMA, or 12-month CD) at the same time, and (2) another $100 for leaving your checking account open for 1 year, as an anniversary present. That's a total of $500 if you complete everything.
The different offers have slightly different timelines, but the requirements are all fairly easy to meet with a nice payout. It's a good option if you're located in their Pennsylvania footprint.
Each offer pays out after requirements are met. So, about 60 days after account opening for the checking offer, about 90 days after account opening for the savings offer, and about 1 year after account opening for the anniversary offer.
One nice thing about these "direct deposit" offers is that Clearview's fine print says that almost any deposit not performed by a Clearview employee qualifies (including mobile check deposit, Zelle, Venmo, account transfers, etc), so this is significantly easier than typical direct deposit requirements, which are often restricted to payroll or government benefits.
