Notes
- [Source: doctorofcredit.com/bank-of-america-400-750-business-checking-bonus + promotions.bankofamerica.com, checked 2026-08-04] "Update 7/7/26: There is a new bonus for up to $2,500." Official page states "Offer expires on December 31, 2026."
- Tiers: $400 ($5,000), $750 ($15,000), $1,000 ($50,000), $1,500 ($100,000), $2,500 ($250,000).
- No direct deposit required. This is a lump-sum new-money deposit made within 30 days, with the balance maintained through days 31-90.
- Caveat on the upper tiers: only the lower-tier official link (promotions.bankofamerica.com/smallbusiness/biz2toffer) resolves, and it caps at $750. The higher-tier link DoC provides returns HTTP 404, so the $1,000-$2,500 tiers had no working application path when checked on 2026-08-04.
- Monthly fee: none for the first 12 months.
