Best bank bonuses in North Dakota

New checking customers only.

Bravera Bank operates in North Dakota, Minnesota and Montana, and its own offer page names those three states. The bonus applies to all Bravera personal checking accounts, including Free Checking, Community Rewards Checking and 55+ Rewards Checking. You must be a first-time Bravera Bank personal checking customer. The headline on the bank's page reads $400 because it adds a separate $200 referral award for bringing in someone else; the account-opening half is $200. The page does not state a minimum opening deposit or an early closure fee.

Membership: reside within 75 miles of Jamestown, Devils Lake, Page or Portland, ND; within 50 miles of Valley City, Oakes, Napoleon, Steele, Bismarck, Wahpeton or Wishek, ND; within 40 miles of Bisbee or Larimore, ND; in Marshall County, MN; or in the part of Kittson County, MN within 75 miles of Crookston. Immediate family of an existing member can join from anywhere. New checking members only, limit one bonus per member household, and it cannot be combined with other offers. Your account has to be open and in good standing with no restrictions when the bonus is paid, and credit union employees are excluded. Open between April 1, 2026 and September 30, 2026. Separately from the bonus, the Kasasa monthly rewards need 12 debit card purchases, eStatement enrollment and an online banking login each cycle.

Bell Bank operates in Minnesota, North Dakota and Arizona, and the account is its America's Best Checking. The bonus is only available to customers who open with a current promo code, which Bell distributes through partnerships rather than publishing on its main checking page. One live example is code SUNSFAN100 on Bell's Phoenix Suns and Phoenix Mercury partner pages. Limit one bonus per household and per account, it cannot be combined with any other offer, and Bell employees are excluded. The money lands within 5 business days after you qualify. Expires December 31, 2026.

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.

New Chase business checking customers only. You are not eligible if your business already has a Chase business checking account, if you closed one within 90 days of opening it, or if you closed one with a negative balance in the past three years. Government entities, political action committees and campaign accounts are excluded, as are JPMorgan Chase employees. A signer can take one Chase business checking offer every two years counted from the last enrollment date, and only one offer applies per account. Chase does not open business deposit accounts for Hawaii businesses, so Hawaii owners cannot use this one. Chase business CREDIT CARDS are still available in Hawaii. Expires October 15, 2026.

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.

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).

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.

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.
