Conclusion
You need to deposit $20K for the $300 bonus and keep it in the account for about three months. With a $10K deposit you get a $150 bonus. This is not the best offer from Simple Finance. A few month ago, for the same requirements they were giving out bonuses of $500 and $250 respectively. The account does earn a 1.90% APY, which is very competitive.

So I opened an account with Simple and attempted to take advantage of this promo only to find out they have a $5k/day limit when you initiate an inbound ACH transfer. Then that will not post to the account for another 3 or 4 days. Therefore it is impossible to fund the account with $20k and meet the 10 calendar day deadline for funding after opening the account. The only way to do this is with a wire transfer. Way too much trouble to get the $300 bonus. Their APR has also dropped to 1.75% as of 2/8/2020.
