They do not offer any of the business or most of the personal products in Florida, do you know what I can do? I’d love to get the Nuvi……What about using my old NY address? can I do that with a Florida mailing address?

@hocker: I was able to call the branch to get verified. @Steve: Opening 4 accounts would probably set off a red flag at any bank...

By: Steve

Steve — Mon, 04 May 2009 16:05:04 +0000

finally got thru to the fraud dept. they can’t understand why someone from Brooklyn would want to open accounts if there is no branch in brooklyn. I said for a free gps, I’ll open an account anywhere. He will have to talk to a manager and get back to me.

By: hocker

Just got a letter that according to the patriot act you must verify your identity, and go down to a branch… can you just mail them a copy of your license>?

By: Steve

Steve — Mon, 04 May 2009 02:38:16 +0000

I opened 4 buisness accounts online, I got the account info in the mail followed by a letter from the fraud dept. that the accounts were closed. I went to the branch in Manhatten, and they tried to reach the fraud dept. No one pickes up the phone. I called the next day and they gave me a direct number for the fraud dept. I left a message, and am waiting for a call back. It doesn’t look like they want to part with those gps’s. Good luck everyone.

@Mendy:
I know of dozens of people that got the ipod from Key, if I had to guess its probably because his friend missed a step, otherwise there are other courses of action to take to resolve the problem.

Thanks a million!

BTW, what are the odds of what Eli is saying, being right?

By: Dan/Ctownbochur

Dan/Ctownbochur — Thu, 30 Apr 2009 23:22:42 +0000

@Mendy:
It includes 05/01.
Have you ever sold an item on ebay? That’s your business.
You can open it all online and then they will send you some forms to sign for the account.

By: Mendy

Mendy — Thu, 30 Apr 2009 23:07:41 +0000

So what do i write by say: Nature of Business, or What is your average monthly sales?
Also, is the whole opening process done solely over the internet?

By: Mendy

Mendy — Thu, 30 Apr 2009 23:04:08 +0000

Also, does “by 05/01″ mean including or not?

Yes you can.

I”m a bochur with no job, so i dont even pay taxes. Could i open a “Key Business Free Checking” account (so as to, not have to pay bills of 200 dollars)? And if yes, what do i write by ALL those question (not just business type)?

By: Eli

Eli — Thu, 30 Apr 2009 21:18:58 +0000

I know of a friend who signed up at Key Bank for an account that promised him an iPod. He did everything necessary for the requirements to get it, and never got it. He spent HOURS on the phone with them, and went into the bank many times and still never got it. I would say to you guys…Good Luck. If you don’t get the GPS, and after one call to them it’s not resolved, DON’T WASTE YOUR TIME.

I had a similar thing with TD Bank that I was supposed to get a shuffle after 2 Direct Deposits. The DD’s happened and I never received anything. Bank keeps telling me to wait 6-8 weeks.

do i have to make the paybill 2 times every month, or only the first month?

Look at the business account deal.

By: JJ

JJ — Thu, 30 Apr 2009 18:45:25 +0000

My description of the deal says that automated payments must be of 100 dollars or more each.

By: Dan/Ctownbochur

Dan/Ctownbochur — Thu, 30 Apr 2009 14:59:08 +0000

@moishe: Sure, but you'll either have to pay fees for the monthly maintenance of the account or the closure of the account if you decide to close early. @joel: Just select "sole proprietorship" as the business type. Then all you will need to give is your social security number as the Tax ID number.

By: joel

joel — Thu, 30 Apr 2009 14:43:38 +0000

What Business id should I provide if signing up for the business account?

By: HSS

HSS — Thu, 30 Apr 2009 07:46:10 +0000

@Shmuel Z

Billpay is not the same as Direct Deposit, you are confusin the two.

To do two Billpays you have to log into your Key Bank Online Account and then have key send two bill payments to whomever you choose preferably a real bill like a credit card, etc. but it is possible that a check to yourself would work too but it is probably not worth the gamble. From the terms and conditions there seems to be no minimum on the value of the bill pay amount so two $1 bill payment should suffice.

is there any way to get it without depositing 2500 dollars?

By: daniel Z

daniel Z — Thu, 23 Apr 2009 18:23:08 +0000

seems to me, you ought to go for the bussiness reward checking which waives the fee for 2 months and 15 dollars thereafter. you close the account on 7/3/09 and pay a $25 early termination fee. max $40 for the 265. or do the bussiness free checking and get the 205 for free, no minimum balance, no need to close early

By: Shmuel Z

Shmuel Z — Tue, 14 Apr 2009 00:50:00 +0000

Dan, I did the money market business checking. Can you please advise which bill payment will qualify. Will my brother sending me from his Capitol One bank account work. How about from my personal account? Paypal?
Thank you for the advice

does an ingdirect deposit count as a direct deposit? chase bank did count it as direct deposit for a similar promotion.

am i able to somehow make a direct deposit i am someone who doesn’t work? can you please explain how

@MichaelR:
For the business account (which I recommended in the post) only 2 billpay payments are required.

By: MichaelR

MichaelR — Sun, 05 Apr 2009 20:11:55 +0000

Here’s the catch. You must make 2 direct deposits or “automatic payments”. BillPay payment or Paypal payments are not included – see fine print. So if you do not Direct Deposit your payroll check, you must have a third party vendor automatically bill you for at least $100 two times. Then you will have to remember to stop that automatic drafting of your account. All somewhat of a pain.

Sell stuff on ebay? You’ve got a business.
Just choose “sole-proprietorship”
