What Changed

Guardian Credit Union has a $300 checking bonus worth checking. Availability appears limited to Alabama. Review direct deposit language, fees, funding rules and early-termination terms before opening.

Who Should Care

This is relevant for readers who can open checking accounts in the eligible footprint and are comfortable tracking account-opening requirements, monthly fees and bonus timelines.

Terms To Verify

Bank bonuses can turn on small details. The public card should not be treated as final until the account page and bonus disclosure match the expected terms.

  • Required account activity
  • Eligible states or membership rules
  • Direct deposit, debit-card, balance or funding requirements
  • Monthly fee waiver requirements
  • Bonus posting timeline and early-account-closure fee
  • Whether prior account holders are excluded

  2. 2Screenshot or save the bonus terms before applying.
  3. 3Calendar the requirement window and expected payout month.
