I don't like to post much, but since I got a good deal, I thought I should share it with others, hope that it would help some.
Well, anyways, yesterday I went to my local Walmart(Porter Ranch, CA) for some shopping, and they have a bank called Banco Popular located inside. And they are having some insanely good promotions going on right now.
To sign up for a free checking account with them with $25 deposit, you get the following:
1. $25 to you for bringing the checks from your existing bank to them. They will shred the checks for you and give you some of their checks for free. Don't know if this will happen to you, but they gave me the $25, without me having brought the checks with me and them shredding them!:)
2. $50 to you, if you sign up online banking with them and use the online payment feature--once would suffice--within a 60-day period. Note: per the reps of the bank, the online payment must be initiated from WITHIN your online account with bancopopular in order to claim the $50 gift. If you do the online payment outside your bancopopular account by simply providing the routing # of bancopopular and your checking account #, you will NOT be able to claim the $50 gift.
3. a slow cooker, a lunch warmer, or a Swiss Army bag to choose as a free gift. I chose the Swiss Army bag.
4. some other money that I don't remember now. The reps of the bank told me that you could get up to $125 of free money from them, if you do ALL the things required by them. For me, I got the $75 plus the free Swiss Army bag! Absolutely happy camper here!:)
Bancopopular's American website is here:
http://www.bancopopular.com/us/personal/us-per-home-en.jsp
Per the reps, it has locations in Florida, New York, California, and possibly other states within the US.
If you want to have a backup or secondary checking account, which is my case, you might give this a try!
And if I am mistaken in any of the above-mentioned details, others are welcome to correct me!
Happy shopping and saving money!:):beer:

Further EDIT: The bank is FDIC insured.
