Heads up, deal seekers! Union Savings Bank (USB) is back with an offer where you can snag up to a $300 bonus for opening a new checking account. This deal was set to expire but has been extended until December 31, 2025!

Here's the breakdown: You can earn the bonus by opening either an Access Checking account ($300 bonus potential) or an Essential Checking account ($150 bonus potential). The Access Checking requires a $50 deposit and one direct deposit to get $150. You can snag another $150 by opening an Access Savings account alongside it and maintaining a $15,000 average balance for 60 days. The Essential Checking route requires a smaller deposit of $25, a direct deposit, opening a USB debit card and making 10 purchases to get $50 each, and opening an Essential Savings account with a $500 average balance to get the last $50.

This is relevant because, for savvy travelers, bank bonuses are a great way to pad your travel fund! Just make sure you're eligible (Connecticut residents or current USB customers can apply online; otherwise, you'll need to visit a branch) and that you meet all the requirements to avoid missing out on that sweet bonus. Also, remember the fine print: you can't have had a USB checking or savings account in the last 12 months, and you'll need to keep the account open long enough to avoid any early termination fees (though none are listed). Remember bank bonuses are considered interest and you will be responsible for any applicable taxes.
