$50 Checking Account Bonus at an Oklahoma Bank (Fidelity Bank)

Oklahoma Fidelity Bank is offering a $50 bonus for opening its free checking account. There does NOT seem to be any direct deposit or other requirements which is nice to see. Upon opening, the $50 will be deposited to your new checking account. $25 minimum deposit is required. It's available at the Oklahoma branches from 8/10/07 to 8/31/07.

This special doesn't seem to be listed at the bank's website. It was advertised in yesterday's Oklahoman Newspaper. The ad is available online here.

The Free Checking has no monthly fees or minimum balance requirements. The bank also has an E-Checking account that pays 4.50% APY with a $1K minimum to avoid monthly fees. It also offers 5 free paper checks per month.

Branches are located in Edmond and Oklahoma City. The bank also has branches in Wichita and Derby Kansas. I don't think the $50 bonus is available in Kansas, but they still offer the same 4.50% E-Checking. The bank is FDIC insured (FDIC Certificate # 30895).
