$75 Checking Account Bonus at a Maryland CU (SECU)
Oct 24, 2006 - 8:59 AM by Ken Tumin
The 7.62% CD may be over, but SECU Credit Union still has a $75 bonus for opening a new checking account with direct deposit.
The minimum initial deposit is $25. You have until 11/30/06 to open the account and 12/31/06 for the direct deposit. Also note, in addition to pay, investment checks count as direct deposit. So it seems a regular ACH deposit from other another financial institution may qualify.
The field of membership includes alumni, full and part-time students, faculty and staff of several Maryland schools and universities. It also includes Maryland state employees and several other select groups. A commenter also noted that the American Heart Association is included in the FOM.
Branches are located in the Maryland cities of Baltimore, Annapolis, Berwyn Heights, Columbia, Glen Burnie, Hagerstown, LaVale, Rockville, Salisbury, Silver Spring and Towson.
The credit union is NCUA insured. It has $1.6 billion in assets and 247k members.
Thanks to the commenter who reminded me of this special.

Does anyone know if they do a hard credit inquiry when you open up an account, and if so, through which Credit Bureau?

I had contacted them last week about the Celebration CD and FedEx'd a check up there by Friday. This morning they opened up the CD for me since I started the process while the promo was still running. But, YMMV.
