Free iPod Nano or $200 for opening Evergreen Private Bank checking account

Evergreen Private Bank had an ad in Sunday’s Chicago Tribune advertising a number of their deals, and one of the best ones is this: Open an EPB Cornerstone Checking Account with direct deposit, and receive either a free iPod Nano or $200 account credit.  The Cornerstone Checking Account is a nice checking account on its own, with a $1 minimum and paying (for now) 3% above $1000, 4% above $10,000, and 5% above $15,000.  The account also reimburses all ATM fees up to $20/month.  The biggest hitch: “If promotional checking account is closed within 6 months, $150 fee will apply.”

Evergreen Private Bank only has one branch: at 1515 West 22nd Street, Suite 100W in Oak Brook (right next to Oak Brook Mall).
