BB&T is trying to entice new customers into its checking account services.  The bank will give you $50 in cash, if you set-up a checking account with direct deposit.  Then, after that, if you pay 10 bills using their online bill pay services you will receive another $50.  This perhaps isn’t the easiest way to get $100 for opening an account, but the benchmarks are not all that hard to meet.  This account has no minimum balance, free debit card, free online and mobile banking.  You can apply online for this account and get an instant decision for your new account.
