Banks are competing fiercely for consumers dollars.
One of the most reliable ways to insure consumers will use a particular bank is to get them to sign up for direct deposit.
Univest Bank is offering $100 for opening a checking account and setting up direct deposit from government or payroll checks.
Be aware that Univest conducts a hard pull of your credit when you apply for a checking account.
To qualify for the bonus:
- You have to setup direct deposit within 90 days of account opening
- Your checking account needs to remain open for at least 12 months or you pay a fee of $20
- Limit of one checking account reward per customer per year
- Current Univest customers with a checking account do not qualify for the bonus.
The $100 bonus will be deposited into your account within 30 days of your initial direct deposit.
Good news: Univest’s “Honestly Free” and “Anytime Online” checking accounts do not have a monthly fee. You can compare these two options here: http://www.univest.net/switch/online_accounts.aspx

This offer is similar to the Mango Money Prepaid Card $20 bonus – you get a bonus for setting up direct deposit.
Always check the fine print and fee schedule before signing up for any offer.
