We hope they will lower the requirement in the future. However, we are glad that they offer incremental bonus and customer can aim for $300 or $400 bonus. We recommend Santander Simply Right Checking account as monthly fees can be avoided by simply making a transaction (no necessary a direct deposit).<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Santander Bank is offering up to $500 bonus for opening their checking account.
