Notes
- **An Enhanced Direct Deposit (EDD) is an electronic deposit through the Automated Clearing House (“ACH”) Network of payroll, pension, Social Security, government benefits and other payments to your checking or savings account. An EDD also includes Zelle® incoming payments and other funds from person-to-person (P2P) payments when transferred through the ACH Network using providers such as Venmo or PayPal. Teller deposits, cash deposits, check deposits, wire transfers, transfers between Citibank accounts, ATM transfers and deposits, mobile check deposits, debit card funding transfers, and P2P payment transfers sent to a Citibank debit card do not qualify as EDDs. Any funds transferred from another financial institution or P2P provider through an instant transfer service will also not qualify as an EDD.
Thoughts
This is likely the offer to go after for most folks. There is another Citi offer but it requires a lot of money to be on deposit.Citi – $1,500 Checking Bonus
