*To receive the $50 Refer-A-Friend bonus, refer a new client to open a consumer checking account (subject to approval) and all of the following requirements have been met on the new client’s account within 3 months of account opening (“qualifying period”):
- The debit card has been used at least once; and
- At least one qualifying direct deposit or direct debit made through the Automated Clearing House (ACH) network of $250 or more per transaction, must have posted and settled to the account.
Qualifying Visa® debit card transactions are defined as point-of-sale transactions made with your debit card that are completed using a PIN (personal identification number), signature, contactless, or mobile wallet (e.g., Apple Pay, Google Pay, Samsung Pay). ATM transactions do not count towards this total. Debit card transactions authorized but not yet posted do not count toward the debit card requirement. Direct deposit ACH examples are, but not limited to, an electronic deposit of your paycheck, pension or government benefits from your employer or the government. Person to person or Account to Account payments (such as, but not limited to, Zelle, Venmo or CashApp) are not considered a direct deposit. Direct debit ACH examples would be, but are not limited to, a car payment, mortgage, rent payment or another household bill.
All qualifying transactions must have posted and settled to the account by the last business day of the “qualifying period”.
