  1. Promo code Q2DIG25 MUST be used when opening a U.S. Bank Business Essentials or Silver Business Checking account. Limit of one bonus per business. A $100 minimum deposit is required to open one of the referenced accounts.

    • Earn your $500 Business Checking bonus by opening a new U.S. Bank Business Essentials or Silver Business Checking account between 4/03/2025 and 6/30/2025. You must make deposit(s) of at least $5,000 in new money within 30 days of account opening and thereafter maintain a daily balance of at least $5,000 until the 60th day after account opening. You must also complete 5 qualifying transactions within 60 days of account opening.

    Qualifying transactions include debit card purchases, ACH credits, Wire Transfer credits and debits, Zelle credits and debits, U.S. Bank Mobile Check Deposit or Bill Pay. Other transactions such as (but not limited to) other Person to Person payments, transfers to credit card or transfers between U.S. Bank accounts are not eligible.

    New money is considered money that is new to U.S. Bank. Funds must come from outside U.S. Bank and cannot be transferred from another U.S. Bank product or a U.S. Bank Affiliate. For accounts opened on non-business days, weekends or federal holidays, the open date is considered the next business day. Account fees (e.g., monthly maintenance, paper statement fee, etc.) could reduce the qualifying daily balance, therefore you must make deposit(s) to cover the fees to maintain the daily balance during the qualifying period to be awarded the bonus. Refer to the Business Essentials® Pricing Information or Business Pricing Information Document for a list of fees.

    Bonus will be deposited into your new eligible U.S. Bank Business Checking account within 30 days following the last calendar day of the month you complete all of the offer requirements, as long as the account is open and has a positive available balance.

    Offer may not be combined with any other business checking account bonus offers. Existing customers (businesses) with a business checking account or customers (businesses) who had an account in the last 12 months, do not qualify.

    All regular account-opening procedures apply. For a comprehensive list of checking account pricing, terms and policies, reference your Business Essentials® Pricing Information or Business Pricing Information and YDAA disclosure. These documents can be obtained by contacting a U.S. Bank branch or calling 800.872.2657.

    Bonus will be reported as interest earned on IRS Form 1099-INT and recipient is responsible for any applicable taxes. Current U.S. Bank employees are not eligible. U.S. Bank reserves the right to withdraw this offer at any time without notice.

  2. Digital transactions include electronic deposits, electronic withdrawals, ATM transactions, Elavon payment processing credits and chargebacks, electronic transfers, ACH, debit card purchases. Certain transactions may have additional service fees. Refer to U.S. Bank Business Essentials® Pricing Information or contact your Business Banker for complete pricing information.

  3. Teller transactions include deposits and withdrawals made with a banker/teller at a branch and paper checks written on the account.

  4. Sales are processed daily and deposited into the associated checking account. Funding speeds will vary between weekdays and weekends and are dependent on batch settlement times. Batches will be processed every day, including weekends. Changing the account that your funds are deposited into may impact your funding speeds. Fee to retain daily funding and deposit applies when the associated checking account is a non-U.S. Bank checking account. Please see the U.S. Bank Business Essentials® Payment Processing Terms of Service and Operating Agreement for details.

  5. One free Ingenico Moby/5500 card reader is included and is only available for customers applying for a new U.S. Bank Business Essentials® account through the online application. Card reader cannot be redeemed for any other hardware purchase or account credit. Additional card readers available for a fee.
