Our Verdict

You’ll lose out on $200-$300 in curiosity by utilizing this financial savings account which doesn’t earn a lot curiosity versus a excessive yield financial savings account. Nonetheless may be value it for the $525 bonus + .15% curiosity that the account earns. Replace: readers be aware you could have the banker enroll you on this Platinum financial savings account which has a good rate of interest.

I see this as extra attention-grabbing along side the Wells Fargo Premier checking $2,500 bonus provide which requires $250,000 in belongings transferred. Far as I can inform from the superb prints, the 2 presents ought to work in tandem, and the $25,000 financial savings account will depend towards your $250,000 threshold wanted for the checking/investing bonus. Looks as if a pleasant approach of sweetening the pot a bit on that $2,500 Premier checking bonus, and it ought to be attainable to herald each promo codes to the department and open each accounts on the similar time. Replace 3/24/23: a number of readers heard from their banker that the $25k received’t stack with the $250k provide. Replace 11/24/24: In actuality it in all probability will stack.

We’ll add this to our record of Finest Financial institution Signup Bonuses.
