You are only eligible for one checking cash bonus; you cannot open multiple checking accounts and receive multiple cash bonuses. Day 1 is the day you open your account and begins the tracking period. If you open your account on a day other than a Business Day, Day 1 is the next Business Day. The checking account type you have on Day 90 will determine which cash bonus you are eligible for. In order to receive the cash bonus, you must meet the associated criteria for that account. Cash bonus is paid into the checking account approximately 100 days after account opening.
Savings Builder: For every month your Savings Builder account balance grows by at least $200, we will credit the account with a $5 savings reward within 5 calendar days after the end of the month. To calculate if your balance has grown by $200, we will compare the Ledger Balance on the last Business Day of the previous month to the Ledger Balance on the last Business Day of the current month. Interest and savings reward payments will not count towards your balance growth.
Your account is eligible for 12 savings rewards beginning with the month your account is opened. The first savings reward is based on your savings growth from the Business Day the account is opened through the last Business Day of that month. If your initial deposit is not received until the month after the account opening, the account will only be eligible for 11 savings rewards.
Your account must be open when the savings rewards are paid. Savings rewards will be reported to the IRS for tax purposes and you are responsible for any applicable taxes.
Exclusions:
Savings rewards are available for new accounts only. An account switched into Savings Builder from a different product is not eligible for savings rewards.
Savings rewards are limited to one Savings Builder account per customer as the Primary Account Owner. Only your first account opened is eligible for savings rewards.
You are not eligible to receive savings rewards if you have previously opened a Statement Savings account between February 3, 2020 and October 18, 2021 and participated in the Statement Savings account – Savings Rewards offer.
