Chase Total Checking® Account

You will need your social security number (SSN), and a valid driver's license or state ID.

All you need to do is apply and open a Chase Total Checking® with a coupon before October 14, 2020. If you want to open the account immediately, the coupon code will be automatically applied, but you can also have the coupon code sent to your email address.

There are two conditions you need to keep in mind: an initial direct deposit of at least $500 is required within 60 days following account opening. You also need to keep the account open for at least 6 months. Otherwise, the bonus will be deducted from your balance at closing.

If you get approved, you will receive the $200 bonus within 10 business days.

If you make a direct deposit of $500 or more when you open a Chase Total Checking®, you can have your monthly fee waived.

Direct deposits include ACH credit (electronic fund deposits) - payroll, pension or government benefits, such as Social Security.

If you have another Chase account, such as a savings one, you can combine deposits made in each of your Chase account to qualify for a monthly fee waiver. You need to keep a minimum combined balance of $5,000 across your Chase accounts, which might include personal Chase savings accounts (but not Chase Premier Savings^SM and Chase Private Client Savings^SM), Chase Liquid® Cards, CDs, certain Chase Retirement CDs, and certain Chase Retirement Money Market Accounts.

Qualifying investments include balances in investment and annuity products offered by JPMorgan Chase & Co. or its affiliates and agencies.

No, you can only apply online in your name. Once you've opened the account, both you and your joint owner need to visit a local Chase branch, and provide valid IDs (SSN, a driver's license, state ID).

You need to enroll in Chase Online^SM Banking by providing your Social Security number or Tax ID number, you account or application number, and a chosen username. You will also need to enable access to your email or phone number you already shared with the bank.

Once enrolled, you'll be able to sign in at chase.com, and manage your finances online. Chase Online Banking is a hassle-free way to track your activity, pay bills, view statements, and make transfers. Besides, you can bank knowing you're protected against identity and account information theft, because Chase uses encryption technology to ensure secure banking.

Chase won't charge you NSF fees if your account is overdrawn by $5 or less at the end of a business day.

On the other hand, for greater amounts, you will be charged $35 per each item. However, you can avoid this fee by making a deposit or transfer from another account before the business day ends. If you want to make a deposit or transfer from another Chase account, you need to respect the bank's cutoff times.

Transfer/deposit options from another Chase account:

• At a branch before it closes.
• At an ATM before 11 p.m. Eastern Time (8 p.m. Pacific Time)
• When transferring money on chase.com or Chase Mobile® or using Chase QuickPay® with Zelle® before 11 p.m. Eastern Time (8 p.m. Pacific Time).

Other transfers, including from non-Chase accounts, may have additional cutoff times.

You can order checks when you sign in to your account at chase.com. There, you'll see the "Things you can do" menu, from which you need to choose "Order checks & deposits slips". The price of ordered checks varies based on items ordered.

Chase QuickDeposit^SM is a convenient, easy way to deposit checks without having to visit a local branch. Using your Chase mobile app, you can simply enter the amount to deposit, take pictures of your check, either manually or via the "Auto Capture" feature, and, finally, submit the deposit.

Yours funds will be available the next business day if you submit a deposit before 11PM.

It's recommended that you keep your check for a few days after you've deposited, to make sure your QuickDeposit has been accepted. You can destroy the check later.

With Chase Refer a Friend, you can earn $50 each time a friend of yours opens a qualifying Chase account (New Chase Total Checking®  and/or New Chase Savings^SM or a New Chase College Checking^SM).

In case your friends are interested in another Chase checking account, they should talk directly with a banker to see whether it'd be possible to use the coupon.

You can invite 10 people per year, meaning you can earn up to $500 per year in bonuses only by having your friends or family members open a Chase checking account!

While you won't get informed when your friends opens an account due to confidentiality, you will see your bonus appear in your Chase checking account as "$50 Refer a Friend bonus". The funds should be deposited into your checking account within 20 business days, provided both your and your friend's checking accounts are active and in good standing.

Note: People you invite must use the link you shared, otherwise, you won't receive the bonus.
