Either they changed the terms to $50 bonus or I can’t find the link to the $250 offer.
Here’s the $50 bonus: https://www.53.com/content/fifth-third/en/mkg/checking-offer.html

Hi Linda Richardson I need the code to receive my $250 bonus. Effective today I open a checking account with 5/3 Bank. Please help.
I haven’t gotten a code for the 5/3 account today. The $250 bonus needs a code and I haven’t received or seen it, please respond as soon as possible, thank you!
Hi Danny, I love your site! I have used it many times for personal and checking accounts as well as credit cards. I would like to use the $500 to open a business account tomorrow with 53 Bank.

Thank you for the update Michael!
Please update the Business Checking Account offer details:
5/3 charges a $50 fee for closing a business checking account and it doesn’t seem to matter when you close it.
https://www.53.com/content/fifth-third/en/business-banking/managing-business/checking-account-solutions/standard-checking.html
“All Business Checking Accounts: No minimum deposit required to open a checking or savings account. Account must be funded within 45 days of opening. Closed accounts will be charged a $50 fee. Customers purchase checks. A paper statement fee of $3 will be charged unless you carry an average daily collected balance of $3,000. You may suppress your statement through online banking at any time. Other charges may apply and are subject to change without notice. “
From previous experience 5/3 customer service is nil. It has the worst customer service of five banks I have dealt with in the past year. Most of their opening new account bonus claims are completely false. They have approved and sent me three new credit cards with a bonus if I spend a certain amount of $ in the first 90 days however when I receive the new card it will never activate. When trying to call customer service concerning this issue the call always disconnect after giving them the new credit card number. But this idiot bank continues to pre-approve me via mail for a new card and I continue to request them just to f— with them. I just got one yesterday and opened it. LOL!
Same thing happened to me!
Please send me an offer code for bonus of $250 or $500
please post new coupon for $550
I opened a business account and installed $1000 . Waited for 10 days to get my bonus – nothing. Asked my bank manager to look into it – nothing. Here is the trick- they charge me a monthly fee – even i was told there are no fees on my business account if i have $1000 on it .Which i had. Since they took off a fee- the minimum went under the required $1000 – and with that I was told not eligible for the bonus. !!!! Spending 3 hours in that stuffy office when i opened my b account ii was bombarded with all kinds of offers – but the very important fact about to get $500 for opening the b account was left out !!! I will take my money out first thing in the morning and NEVER do business with 53 again.
You got so much many help somebody that truly need help
Hi Tricia,
The $500 bonus was a targeted offer and we mentioned in editor’s note that you need to have received a flyer in order to be eligible: https://www.hustlermoneyblog.com/fifth-third-bank-checking-savings-promotion/

Hope this helps and thanks for being a reader!
False advertising. When into bank at Sandy Plains Rd. Roswell GA with $16,000 to open savings and checking account for the targeted $250 bonus for each and they would not honor it. Did not have a printed coupon code. What bank does not want deposit of $16,000 and not touch it for 3 months? Fifth Third. Answered my own question.
Danny – can you check on this. Your site says that you have to go to a 53 bank to open up the account and that is what is on your link. However, I found a website that claims to be 53 (Fifth and Third) and it has an online application on the left side. As the bonus of $200 if you only deposit $500 seems too good to be true, can you verify that the following is an actual promo by 53. And or give me a verified phone number and/or email address for Fifth and Third bank so I can check it out?
I look foward to your answer!
The website that need verified is :

Hi Jeff, please go with the bank’s pricing document for the latest account closing fee. Thanks for letting us know and our review has been updated.
You are mentioning $50 closing account fee.
On their pricing document, they say “Account Closure Fee $0 No charge”.
Who’s right?
