Here’s the New Chase $200 Business Checking valid until 5/15/2010. You might want to print it NOW because they will take this down before the expiration date. You can request the business bonus code by entering your email at the website. Make sure to deposit $5000 in order to get your bonus.
You are wondering, can I open one anyway..say sole proprietorship? YMMV on this. I don’t think you can just walk in and say you have an Ebay business and you want to open a business checking account.
If you are a licensed professional such as a lawyer, teacher, or accountant, you can open a business checking as sole proprietorship without your business being registered with the state.
Obviously, if you have a business, this is an easy $200 bonus. In order to have no monthly fees, your account balance must maintain $5K per month(Chase credit card balance counts too).
From the website about the fees:
¹FREE Checking means no monthly service fee and includes up to 200 transactions per month on a Chase BusinessClassicSM Checking or Chase BusinessClassicSM Checking with Interest account. Other fees may apply. Requirements are either: (a) when 5 or more debit card purchases are posted to your checking account each statement period (withdrawals from the ATM or cash advance transactions do not qualify); (b) linking the checking account to a Chase Business Credit Card that is not delinquent, closed, charged off, or revoked and as long as the card balance exceeds $0 at least once during the current checking account statement cycle; (c) linking the checking account to a Chase Premier CheckingSM or Chase Premier Platinum CheckingSM personal checking account; or (d) maintain a monthly average balance of $4,000 to $7,500 (depending on region) in the checking account. All accounts are subject to approval. Linking for pricing purposes will not affect your statement and does not link accounts for overdraft protection. Overdraft protection must be requested by you.
Another way to get away from the fees is to ask for the Chase Business Complete package. This package gives you both the Business Classic Checking and Business Savings accounts fee-free for the first year.
Here’s the fine print about the bonus:
