The Fine Print

• Promotion only available to intended recipients of this landing page who either apply now using the above link or visit a branch. Existing savings account customers are not eligible for this offer. Fulton Bank does not offer products and services to individuals who live outside of our service area.
• This offer is valid for new consumer savings account customers only who have not had a savings account with any affiliate of Fulton Financial Corporation within the last 12 months.
• All money deposited at account opening must be new money to the bank. Promotion is limited to one $125 cash bonus per household/address.
• Fulton Financial Corporation employees and immediate family members sharing a household are not eligible.
• May not be combined with any other offer.
• This offer is valid when you open a new Statement Savings account between October 19, 2020 and November 30, 2020.
• We will credit one $125 bonus to your savings account if on day 60 after account opening you have a new money balance of at least $1,000.
• New money is defined as funds not currently on deposit with Fulton Bank by the account holder.
• All bank account bonuses are treated as income/interest and as such you have to pay taxes on them

Avoiding Fees

Monthly Fees

Need a balance of $100+ to avoid the monthly fee.

Early Account Termination Fee

I can find no references to an early account termination fee on their website

Our Verdict

Better than the previous $100 bonus. Seems like people that have done the $200 checking bonus are getting targeted for this (but not all of them). We won’t add this to the best bank bonuses page as it’s targeted, but worth doing if targeted.
