BMO Harris $600 Business Checking Bonus

BMO Harris is offering two bonuses for business checking account. You can earn up to $600 in cash when you open a new account and complete requirements. This bank has been a hassle to deal with regarding personal bonuses but hopefully this BMO Harris $500 business bonus is less of a headache. Let’s see the details below.

BMO Harris $600 Business Checking Bonus

You can receive either the $400 bonus or the $600 bonus. To take advantage of this offer, you must open your account between September 18, 2023 and December 8, 2023. You can apply online or at a BMO branch. If you select to open the account at a branch, you need to email yourself a promo code. Here’s how to earn the bonus:

To receive the $400 checking bonus:

1. Open a new BMO Digital Business Checking, BMO Simple Business Checking, BMO Premium Business Checking, or BMO Elite Business Checking account.
2. On Day 120 after account opening, your Average Collected Balance over the prior 120 days must be at least $4,000. The Average Collected Balance is calculated by adding the Collected Balance in the Account for each day of the 120 days and dividing that figure by 120.
3. Have at least ten (10) electronic transactions post to the account within 120 days of account opening. Electronic transactions can be any combination of: ACH credits or debits, real-time payments, online bill payments, mobile deposits, wire transfers or debit card POS purchase transactions. ATM transactions and POS credits do not qualify as electronic transactions.

To receive the $600 checking bonus:

1. Open a new BMO Digital Business Checking, BMO Simple Business Checking, BMO Premium Business Checking, or BMO Elite Business Checking account.
2. On Day 120 after account opening, your Average Collected Balance over the prior 120 days must be at least $10,000. The Average Collected Balance is calculated by adding the Collected Balance in the Account for each day of the 120 days and dividing that figure by 120.
3. Have at least ten (10) electronic transactions post to the account within 120 days of account opening. Electronic transactions can be any combination of: ACH credits or debits, real-time payments, online bill payments, mobile deposits, wire transfers or debit card POS purchase transactions. ATM transactions and POS credits do not qualify as electronic transactions.

Day 1 is the day you open your account and begins the tracking period. If you open your account on a day other than a Business Day, Day 1 is the next Business Day. The bonus you qualify for will be deposited into the new checking account within 14 days of meeting the respective promotion requirements stated above, approximately Day 130.

In order to receive the bonus, you must 1) meet the associated criteria for the respective offer mentioned above, 2) your checking account must be in an open status and in good standing with a balance greater than zero on the day of payment, and 3) be either a BMO Digital Business Checking, BMO Simple Business Checking, BMO Premium Business Checking, or BMO Elite Business Checking account.

Eligibility

To open an account, you must be a new customer and have a business that is located in one of the following states: Arizona, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Missouri, Minnesota, or Wisconsin. You can open an account in person at any BMO Harris branch in these states, or you can do so online.

If you are an existing BMO Harris business checking customer or have closed a BMO Harris business checking account within the past 12 months, you are not eligible for these offers.

You are only eligible for one (1) business checking bonus.

BMO Harris Account Fees

Guru’s Wrap-Up

BMO Harris is offering two bonuses, one for $400 and the other for $600m which is an improvement from the previous offer. There’s no direct deposit requirement, but you need to have an average balance of $4,000 or $10,000 for 120 days. You also need to complete 10 electronic transactions such as ACH transfers, debit purchases, bill payments and more.

Some data points in the past show that this might not be the easiest bank to deal with. The bonus takes 130 days to post and you might need to request it yourself. But the lack of a direct deposit requirement makes it easier for most people who are in eligible states.

There’s also a $1,000 bonus listed in the promotion page for a Elite Business Money Market account. However, you would need to deposit $100,000 to get the full bonus, and you need to keep the money tied up in the account for about four months. With current interest rates, that doesn’t make sense.

Bank bonuses are a great way to earn some extra income, often from the comfort of your home. You can take a look at my bank bonus results for 2022 where I made over $6,000.
