Eligible businesses must complete the qualifying activities described below in each Statement Cycle in order to receive the cash bonus in that Statement Cycle.

- The Qualification Period begins on the first business day of the month and runs through the 25th of the month. If the 25th of the month is followed by a non-business day, the average daily balance will be calculated including the following non-business day(s). Any qualifying deposits received after the 25th of the month will count toward the next Qualification Period. The Qualification Period for new accounts will begin on the day the account is approved. New accounts opened on or after the 25th of the month will be eligible to earn the Cash Bonus starting in the following month.
- Qualifying deposits only include deposits from the following eligible sources: (i) ACH transfers from external accounts, (ii) inbound wire transfers from external accounts, (iii) check deposits.

Avoiding Fees
Monthly Fees
This account has no monthly fees to worry about.
Early Account Termination Fee
Account must be kept open for 180 days otherwise a $50 fee will apply. Also need to keep open for six months to get the full bonus anyway.
Our Verdict
Savings account earns 3.8% APY, not as high as the best current rates but somewhat competitive. This bonus works out to be an extra 2.4% APY for a combined 6.2%. Personally think this is an easy pass considering the other requirements and better savings bonuses available.
