Set deposit amount in order to take advantage of offers?

Hi Everyone

Ive just noticed the first direct current account offer but need to deposit 1500 a month. Does it have to be a salary payment or will any payment count as long as its being paid in? I.E tax credit payments, child benefit or even just a cash payment?

My salary alone would not cover this so just seeing if there are other ways of me adding upto the 1500. I know there are similar offers so its not the end of the world if not but interesting to know if all of these offers must be salary payments or not.

Many thanks :)
