1
At opening

2
Keep account open for 60 days
Open a new U.S. Bank Business Essentials account with promo code Q2PRO26 by June 30, 2026.

Good Fit If
Who should actually do this
You want a bonus path that does not depend on changing direct deposit.
You can keep $5,000 parked without stressing your working cash.
You can keep another checking account open for about 60 days without needing a quick exit.
Think Twice If
Where this can get annoying
You do not want to commit $5,000 to a new bank account.
You want a near-hands-off offer with only one step to track.
Watch For
Failure points before you start
Opening or funding requires at least $5,000, which reduces flexibility while the bonus is open.
Do not treat the account as finished until roughly day 60; early closure can wipe out the payout.
U.S. Bank's current Business Essentials disclosures show promo code Q2PRO26 and a bonus window through June 30, 2026. A $100 opening deposit is required to open the account, but the bonus threshold is $5,000.
