The Offer

SkyOne is offering a $100 bonus when you open a new advantage checking account and complete the following requirements within 90 days of account opening:
- Receive a total of three (3) qualifying direct deposits of any amount into your new checking account during the qualification period
- Have a minimum balance of $500

This offer is intended for new checking accounts only.
You are not eligible for this offer if you are a current owner of a SkyOne Advantage Checking account or have taken advantage of a SkyOne Checking Account bonus offer in the last 36 months.
Offer valid July 14, 2022, to August 31, 2022, is subject to change without notice and may end at any time.
To receive the $100 bonus, you must open an Advantage Checking account and setup direct deposit through our Direct Deposit Wizard portal. Within 90 days of account opening, receive a total of three (3) qualifying direct deposits of any amount into your new checking account during the qualification period; have a minimum balance of $500, and account must be in good standing.
Account in good standing is defined as: 1) Your Checking account balance must not be negative for more than 30 calendar days; 2) You must be in good standing, which means no delinquent or charged off loans or charged off share accounts with SkyOne Federal Credit Union; and 3) You do not have a ChexSystems record with monies owed.
Promotional bonus will be paid up to 30 days after the account has been open for 90 days and criteria has been met.
All bank account bonuses are treated as income/interest and as such you have to pay taxes on them

The advantage checking account has a $5 monthly fee that is waived if any of the following requirements are met:

Be 25 years of age or under
Be 65 years of age or over
Have an active Visa^® credit card, or line of credit, including HELOC (activity is defined as carrying a balance or making purchases each month that total $100 or more)

Have a minimum average daily share balance of $2,500 across all primary account holder’s accounts
Make monthly aggregate deposits of $1,000 or more in SkyOne Advantage Checking Account
Make a minimum of 10 debit card POS (point-of-sale) transactions

There are no early termination fees to worry about

There was a really easy $100 savings bonus recently, should be able to do this offer even if you’ve done that as the terms just state you can’t have had a checking account in the last 36 months. $100 is the standard checking bonus, but we have seen a $200 bonus in the past. We will add this to our list of the best checking bonuses.
