Any new or existing Bank of Hawaii customer is eligible; limited to one checking bonus per customer (prior-bonus lifetime limit).

FIRST-TIME HSFCU members only; one $50 per new primary member; paid to the new Savings account (may take up to 90 days). Statewide Hawaii.

KAUAI COUNTY ONLY. Membership is restricted to Kauai residents and workers. New member must be referred by an existing member (publicly available via the member referral program). Requires a $1,000+/month direct deposit, online banking, and e-Statements. $25 to the new member, paid within 60 days. No stated deadline.

New customers only, and HSBC's definition is a lifetime one: "A 'New Customer' is someone who doesn't have a current or past HSBC account in the U.S. on file." A closed HSBC U.S. account from any point in the past disqualifies you, so this is not a 12-month or 24-month lookback. The Premier checking account must be opened by December 31, 2026. Premier qualification criteria also govern the $50 monthly fee waiver, with $100,000 in combined balances given as the example. Nationwide.

Open or upgrade to a new Chase Private Client Checking account by October 14, 2026. Top $3,000 tier requires $500,000+ in new money; $1,000 minimum tier requires $150,000. Requires an in-person/banker meeting to redeem the coupon.

Business checking. Promo code Q3DIG26. Expires September 27, 2026. New business checking customers only. Two accounts qualify and they are not priced the same: $1,200 needs the Platinum Business Checking Package and $25,000 held, and $400 needs U.S. Bank Business Essentials and $5,000 held. Business Essentials has no monthly maintenance fee. Platinum lists $30 a month but waives it at a $25,000 average collected checking balance, which is the same money the bonus asks you to hold.

Your business has to have annual revenue under $10 million. PNC states that limit on the offer itself, so check it before you plan anything else. New PNC business checking customers only, which means no signer on the account may already have signing authority on a PNC business checking account, have closed one in the past 90 days, or have been paid a PNC promotional premium in the past 12 months. Open a Treasury Enterprise Plan account between July 1, 2026 and September 30, 2026 and keep an average ledger balance of $30,000 or more for each of your first three statement cycles. Only the master account balance counts, so money sitting in linked beneficiary accounts does not. Your statements must cycle monthly; accounts on daily, weekly or quarterly statements are excluded. The plan lists at $50 a month but is $0 for the first three statement cycles and is waived at a $30,000 average balance, so the hold itself covers the fee. Analysis Business Checking also qualifies for the same $1,000, but avoid it unless you have a reason: its fee is only offset by an earnings credit on much larger balances, so at $30,000 you would still pay around $25 a month.

New business checking customers only. A business is not eligible if it currently owns a Wells Fargo business checking account or has closed one in the past 90 days. Sole proprietors qualify, and no LLC is required.

Available to Hawaii residents (Chase personal checking/savings bonuses are obtainable in HI). New Chase savings customers only. Not available if you closed a Chase savings account in the last 90 days or with a negative balance in the last 3 years. One savings bonus every 2 years. Combo bonus ($400) requires also completing checking direct deposit requirement.

Once-per-lifetime: not eligible if you've ever received a FourLeaf new-checking bonus, and only one checking bonus per person. Four Leaf FCU (formerly Bethpage Federal Credit Union, rebranded 2026). Membership is open to anyone nationwide who opens a $5 savings share, with no New York residency, employer group, association, or donation required (the easy Bethpage-era path survived the rebrand). Must be a U.S. citizen or permanent resident (green-card holder); requires SSN and a government photo ID. Account must be opened between 02/02/2026 and 12/31/2026.

Must not have had a BofA personal checking account in the past 12 months; one bonus per customer every 12 months.

Business checking. New BlueVine business checking customers only. New-customer terms: has NOT had a Bluevine Business Checking account open in the last 12 months (12-month cooldown, not once-per-lifetime).

OUT-OF-STATE IS ELIGIBLE with a member referral code, backed by multiple approved out-of-state datapoints (2026-07-20: 'approved as an out-of-state applicant'; 2026-06-09 OOS instant approval; 2026-07-21 instant approval on a friend's code). Without a referral, membership runs through the CA field of membership (Stanford affiliation, or FOPAL/MOAH association). Was previously coded CA-only, which hid the offer from every non-CA user. PULLS CHEXSYSTEMS, and small CUs tolerate churners poorly, with denials reported at high inquiry counts. One bonus per member (lifetime).

Available nationwide. U.S. Bank's own wording is that the offer "may not be available if you live outside of the U.S. Bank footprint" — that is a soft clause, not a hard block. If you are outside their branch footprint, members often qualify by first opening a U.S. Bank brokerage account or credit card and then applying for the checking account. U.S. Bank accounts are obtainable by Hawaii residents (online/existing-relationship), per direct HI experience. Must not have existing US Bank consumer checking, had one in the last 12 months, or received a US Bank checking bonus in the past 12 months. Not available with Trust Accounts or Alliance partnerships.

Nationwide; open online or at branch by August 31, 2026. No signer may have an existing PNC consumer checking account or have closed one within the past 12 months, and no primary signer may have received a PNC consumer-checking promotional premium within the past 24 months.

Not available to existing Chase checking customers, or if you closed a Chase checking account within 90 days or closed one with a negative balance in the last 3 years. Available to Hawaii residents (Chase personal checking/savings bonuses are obtainable in HI). Payroll, pension, or government benefits via ACH, RTP, FedNow, or Visa/Mastercard debit network qualify. Zelle, cash, checks, wire transfers, and interest do not. Micro-deposits do not qualify.

Primary owner only; must be new Wells Fargo checking customer and must not have received Wells Fargo consumer checking bonus in the past 12 months.

One direct-deposit bonus per SSN lifetime; new SoFi Checking & Savings users (and some existing users without prior DD setup) may qualify.

New PNC business checking customers only: no existing PNC business checking, no account closed in the past 90 days, and no PNC bonus received in the past 12 months. Open by September 30, 2026. Annual business revenue must be under $10 million. Available nationwide, including states with no PNC branch, because the offer attaches to an online application from outside the branch footprint and PNC accepts it. The terms name no excluded states.

Platinum Business Checking pays $1,200 at $25,000; Business Essentials pays $400 at $5,000. Promo code Q3DIG26, which U.S. Bank rotates every quarter and which applies automatically from the offer page. Deposit the new money within 30 days of opening, keep at least that balance for 60 days, and complete 6 qualifying transactions. Not available in New York or Florida, and in any other state without a U.S. Bank branch you generally need an existing relationship. On Platinum the $30 monthly maintenance fee is waived at a $25,000 average collected checking balance, which the bonus deposit itself clears; Business Essentials has no monthly maintenance fee. Offer valid through September 27, 2026.

Customer limited to lifetime maximum of two new Premium Savings Account cash bonus offers. May only be enrolled in one PSA cash bonus offer at a time. Promo code SAVING26 required.
