There is no Chase branch within 100 miles of me. This week I was in NYC for 2 days for a family vacation and I slipped out for 30 minutes to open the account. Well worth the 30 minutes while the family was still sleeping.

I just routed $125 of my paycheck to them as a direct deposit. I hope there is no min amount of the DD and there was no mention of an amount on any form. My employer allows me to manage my DD online so it is easy to change banks and amounts and split the paycheck.

I wanted the CC too but since I just got the BA and UA ones, I do not want to push it. They offered a home equity loan during the process but the system did not offer the CC.
