TCF Bank Checking Account $50 Bonus

Open a new checking account and TCF Bank will reward you with a $50 bonus.

The unusual thing about this deal is that that’s all there is to it.

You don’t need to sign-up for direct deposit. Or make a minimum number of debit card purchases.

You can sign-up for any of TCF’s six checking accounts.

The only serious restriction is you must live in one of the seven states where TCF has banks — Minnesota, Illinois, Michigan, Colorado, Wisconsin, Indiana and Arizona.

Open the account at a TCF branch and the bonus will be credited to your account the day or day after you make the minimum initial deposit of $25 ($100 in Arizona).

Fill out the forms online and you might have to wait as long as four weeks to receive the bonus.

If you’re already a TCF customer you can earn a $25 bonus by persuading a friend to open a new checking account.

There’s no limit on how many friends you can refer — and collect on.
