Qualifications

Qualifying for rewards is so easy, you're probably already doing it! It's as simple as doing the following each monthly qualification cycle:

  • Have at least 12 debit card purchases post and settle
  • Be enrolled in and agree to receive eStatements

If you don't meet the qualifications one month, don't worry. There is no penalty, and you still have a free checking account that earns our base interest rate. Plus, you can get back to earning big interest and nationwide ATM fee refunds the very next month.
