Santander Bank Santander Select® Checking up to $600 Bonus

Available in select states with the ability to open online, Santander Bank is offering up to a $600 welcome bonus when you open a new Santander Select® checking account and set up direct deposit. This is a tiered bonus paying $400 to meet the direct deposit requirements and $200 for an optional daily balance requirement.

Keep in mind that you'll need to enter your information (name and email address) on the promo's landing page in order to receive your unique code, which you'll then use on the online application to enroll in the promotion.

A heads up to Florida residents that this promotion is limited to certain zips within Miami-Dade, Monroe, and Broward counties. Fortunately, the fine print says that outside of these counties, "the offer is not available for redemption online", so you may still have luck in-branch.
