Bank Promotions for Checking and Savings Accounts Without a Direct Deposit Requirement (2022)

 

Latest Promos Updated at: Bank Promotions With No Direct Deposit (2024) – Banks.org

 

Many banks offer great promos when you become a new customer and open a savings or checking account.

However, most of these bank promotions require setting up direct deposit before you earn the bonus. What if you don’t want to, or are unable to, set up direct deposit? Many people who are self-employed, retired, or between jobs do not have the ability to initiate the required direct deposits every month.

There are still promotions available for those who choose not to have their paycheck directly deposited into their bank account.

To qualify, instead of making a direct deposit, you will typically have to stay above a certain balance, enroll in online banking, enable paperless statements, or use your debit card a certain number of times per month. Fortunately, these are things that many of us do anyway.

Below is a list of the best banking promotions in 2022 without direct deposit requirements. For each signup bonus we show below, a partial list of the stipulations are mentioned. To make sure you receive the bonus money, read the all of the fine-print on the bank’s website so you know exactly what steps to take.
