View offerGood Fit If
Who should actually do this
- You can route at least $2,000 in qualifying direct deposit without disrupting your main bank setup.
- You can keep $10 parked without stressing your working cash.
- You can keep another checking account open for about ~5 months without needing a quick exit.
Think Twice If
Where this can get annoying
- Your current direct deposit setup makes qualifying direct deposit hard to move or verify.
- You do not want to commit $10 to a new bank account.
- You prefer faster-turn bonuses instead of multi-month hold periods.
Watch For
Failure points before you start
- The offer depends on qualifying direct deposits totaling at least $2,000.
- Opening or funding requires at least $10, which reduces flexibility while the bonus is open.
- Do not treat the account as finished until roughly day 150; early closure can wipe out the payout.
- KeyBank lists this promotional window through May 22, 2026 and payout within 60 days after qualification.
