California Bank & Trust: Score a Quick $250 with This Bank Bonus (If You're in CA!)
Published on December 6, 2025, 9:21 PM
California Bank & Trust is back with a sweet deal for our California-based readers! You can snag a $250 bonus by opening a qualifying business checking account (think Inspire, Growth, Interest, or Connect). The catch? You'll need to deposit $10,000 and keep it there for 90 days, and then maintain a $5,000 average balance in the third month after opening the account. You'll also need to make at least 10 qualifying transactions within those first 90 days, like mobile deposits, debit card purchases, or ACH transfers. The offer is valid until August 31, 2024.
Why should you care? Well, if you have some cash sitting around, this is an easy way to make a little extra. Even though it's only for a few months, that's a pretty good return on your money. The account has a $7 monthly fee, but you can avoid it by keeping a $1,000 minimum balance OR conducting $1,000 or more in transactions each month. Just make sure you don't close the account within six months, or you'll get hit with a $20 early termination fee. Plus, it's a soft pull on your credit, so it won't ding your score!
