Conclusion
I’m not sure if Chase Merchant Services comes with any upfront or monthly fees. I looked through the Chase website and I don’t see any fees mentioned, but you can check with your banker to make sure. You probably just need to pay processing fees for whatever card payments that you process for your business. You need to have $1,500 or more settled into your Chase business checking account within 90 days to get this bonus, and obviously you need to have a Chase business checking account.
Check your emails or Chase business accounts for this offer. I received this offer after opening a business account last week. Let us know if you have it!

Can you open a business checking accont using your SSN?
No – you’ll need, at minimum, a sole proprietorship and EIN. You can get an EIN for a sole proprietorship at IRS website in about 60 seconds. You will also need a business certificate from the municipality where your business operates. In most locations, this will require a signature from the local building inspector (to certify that you’re not planning to see customers at your home, or that your home is appropriately zoned for commercial use and has been inspected). The banker will not be able to open a business checking account without those docs as part of Chase’s FinCEN/AML protocol.
Typically, the municipality will also require that you provide them with the IRS letter with your sole proprietorship’s EIN, so I’d recommend starting there.
