However, you can deposit the money directly from virtually any bank, or do a mobile check deposit, and you will still get the bonus!

You only need to fill out the One person per application: section.

Chime
Chime is a bank/app which pays you a $50 bonus for opening an account via a referral code making a $200 direct deposit. There are no catches, and you can close the account at any time fee free as soon as you register their debit card (gotta wait a few days to get it in the mail).
A "direct deposit" technically means that they want you to deposit the money right from payroll, Social Security, or other direct payment, but you can actually meet this requirement simply by transferring in $200 from CASH APP! So you could deposit 200 into cash app, then withdraw that 200 into chime and get the $50 bonus!
If you don't have cash app, you can also transfer in $200 from most bank accounts and still get the bonus.

Aspiration
Aspiration is an online bank which is offering a free $50 bonus for simply opening an account via a referral link and spending $250, and an extra $100 for $1000 spend in 3 months.
So all you have to do is open a “Spend & Save” account using a referral link, spend $250/1000 using their debit card within 3 months, and then you will get $50/150 posted to your account! There are no fees to worry about! You can close the account fee free whenever you want!

Stash
Stash is a finance app that gives out $20 for anyone who signs up for the Stash (bank) or Stash Invest account via my referral link and deposits at least $5 from any source (payroll, another bank account, PayPal, etc.) So all you have to do is open an account with a referral link, deposit $5, and then the bonus will post to your account!
The app will ask you to open a paid account, but you can simply open a "beginner" account for $1 a month, and then close your account after 1 month after you get your $20 bonus.

Qapital
Qapital is a banking app (iOS/Android) which pays you a $25 bonus for making a $20 deposit from any source. You need to set up a savings goal and a rule to automatically transfer funds to your Qapital savings account (One easy option would be to set up a $5 weekly transfer, so you can quickly qualify for the bonus). They have a monthly membership payment fee(Qapital Basic is $3/month; Qapital Complete is $6/month; and Qapital Master is $12/month.) which is waived for the first month. I would recommend you go for the Qapital Basic plan, as it has the lowest fee at $3 per month.
If you keep your account open for 45 days, maintain a $20 account balance, and make 1 membership payment (the $3 monthly fee), they will credit you with a $20 account bonus. You can then immediately close the account and take your deposit + the bonus out with no additional charges. Even after the fee, that's $17 in free money.

People are normally required to make a donation to a local charity to qualify for a local credit union bank account when they don't live in the area, but SkyOne will actually pay for a donation to the "Surfrider Foundation" themselves because they want everyone on the US to be eligible! In other words, you don't have to spend a dime! Simply click ("None of the above? We've got you! SkyOne will make a one-time donation to one of the following non-profits") on the eligibility page when signing up.
