Under current financial situation, it is really difficult to see great banking promotions from our banks. I haven’t discovered any banking promotions in the past several weeks. The most recent banking promotion is the $100 bonus from WaMu. This is targeted offer only those received the mail or email from WaMu containing the promotion codes are eligible to receive the $100 bonus.

Today I noticed that the HomeStreet Bank, one of the largest private banks in the Northwest and Hawaii, is offering a huge banking promotion to its new customers. You can earn up to $215 from HomeStreet Bank for opening an eligible checking account and finish required banking activities.

This offer is only available in HomeStreet Bank branches. Open a new personal checking account at a HomeStreet Bank branch and complete the following activities for the full $215:
