Our Verdict
I don’t see anything saying that this needs to be your first AXOS account so as long as you get approved the bonus should post Actually says ‘
- A new account is one opened by a customer who hasn’t previously held an Axos Bank account. You must apply for the account via the Finder.com promotional link during the Promotion Period.’
Hat tip to reader Angelo G
Finder seems to be offering more and more good deals like this lately. Doesn’t seem to be any hold period for the $5,000 so a very easy bonus if you have those liquid funds. Will add to our best bank account bonuses.
