Conclusion

These are good bonuses for checking accounts, but you need to deposit large amounts. This time around there’s no bonus for Basic Checking which is the easiest account to keep fee-free. Also the Citibank Account bonus has been lowered from $400 to $300. The other two bonuses have remained the same.
