We will review your account after it has been open for 90 days. If you’ve met the requirements and your accounts are in good standing, the $300 bonus will be deposited into your new Forward Checking account within 30 days of the review. Of course, you’ll need to actively use your new accounts and services (5+ debit transactions per month during the first 90 days). The debits cannot include transfers (including Zelle®) to or from you or anyone in your household. This special offer is only available to households that have not received a similar bonus in the past and don’t currently have a checking account with us (one bonus per household). Complete these requirements within 90 days of account opening to receive your bonus. Offer expires on June 30, 2026.
