Fees
Simply Right Checking or Basic Checking are the best option. Basic Checking has a $3 monthly fee that can’t be waived. Simply Right Checking has a $10 monthly fee that can be easily waived when you make any financial transaction that posts during a calendar month. Includes deposits, withdrawals, transfers or payments. Excludes fees, rebates or adjustments posted by Santander.
Conclusion
Santander has has a few increased bonuses lately, but they’ve been targeted. This one is publicly available and requirements are pretty easy to meet. All you need to do is complete $500 or more in direct deposits within 90 days. I’d suggest opening a Simply Right Checking account and set up an automatic monthly transaction to keep it fee free. There’s no minimum balance requirement.

Hi,
I am self employed and cannot have an employer direct deposit my check. Do you know other ways of doing a direct deposit? Can a family member/friend make a direct deposit or does it have to be a company/institution?
Thank you so much!
From personal experience, ACH from CO360 and Wells Fargo have worked in the past.
Which CO360 – money manager, checking, or savings? Or does it matter as long as it’s CO360?
