Heads up, bonus hunters! Avadian Credit Union is back with an offer to pad your wallet with up to $500 just for opening a new checking account and meeting a few simple requirements. This deal is available until December 5, 2025. Here’s the gist: Open a new checking account, make at least 10 debit card purchases, sign up for e-statements, and set up direct deposit of $1,000 or more per month for three months. Boom – you’re in line for the bonus! If you live, work, worship, or attend school in specific counties in Alabama, you're eligible. There is no monthly fee. While some details like whether they do a hard or soft credit pull, use ChexSystems, allow credit card funding, or have an early account termination fee are unknown, the juice might be worth the squeeze, especially if you're looking for a new bank and can easily meet the requirements. Remember, bank bonuses are taxable, so factor that in. Don't miss out - this offer ends soon!
