  • About this deal:
    • To qualify for the $325 checking bonus, provide the offer code, open a Fifth Third Momentum® Checking, or Preferred2 checking account by 3/31/2023 and make direct deposits totaling $500 or more within 90 days of account opening. Account(s) must be funded within 45 days of account opening or account may be closed, and you may not be eligible for the bonus. The $325 checking bonus does not require any additional activities. A qualifying Direct Deposit is an Automated Clearing House (ACH) credit, which may include payroll, pension or government payments (such as Social Security). The cash bonus will be deposited into your new account within 10 business days of completing qualifying activity requirements. In order to receive the cash bonus, your checking account must be open and in good standing. Offer is not available to existing Fifth Third checking customers or to those with a Fifth Third Checking account that has been closed within the last 12 months. Bank reserves the right to limit each customer to one new account-related gift incentive per calendar year. Eligibility may be limited based on your account type and ownership role. Account must be funded within 45 days of account opening. No minimum deposit required to open a checking account. Bonus may be taxable as interest income and reported on IRS Form 1099-INT. Consult your tax advisor. UNIQUE OFFER CODE MUST BE PRESENTED AT ACCOUNT OPENING TO RECEIVE THE BONUS. See your banker for details. Not valid with any other offer. Offer availability subject to change.
    • Fifth Third Preferred Checking® is an interest-bearing checking account and all balances earn 0.01% Annual Percentage Yield (APY) in all markets. APYs are accurate as of 12/1/2022 and may change at any time.
    • Fifth Third Momentum® Banking benefits are only available with Fifth Third Momentum® Checking.
    • Fifth Third Extra Time® gives you longer—anytime before midnight ET on the business day after your account is overdrawn—to make a deposit that brings your available balance to at least $0. You must deposit enough to cover all items that caused your overdraft plus any outstanding checks, automatic payments, or pending debit card purchases that may be presented that business day. Extra Time® does not apply to items that are returned unpaid.
    • Fifth Third employs a number of fraud protection measures and offers you fee-free tools, such as alerts, to help protect your account. You may also enroll in Fifth Third Identity Alert®, an optional, non-FDIC insured product, subject to additional fees, provided by Fifth Third's vendor, Trilegiant.
    • Early Pay grants you access to your eligible direct deposit payments up to two days prior to the scheduled payment date. Early availability is based on the timing of the payer's payment instruction and standard fraud prevention restrictions apply.
    • Certain restrictions and fees will apply. Fees are disclosed at the time of deposit. Deposits can be made in branch or via our mobile app. Mobile deposits are subject to Digital Services User Agreement; including applicable cut-off times.

how long since closing previous account must elapse before we can get the bonus here? I must be missing that term.

Not letting me do it without going to a branch. Tried a few states (western states). Probably only works for these states that they have a location in:
Florida
Georgia
Illinois
Indiana
Kentucky
Michigan
North Carolina
Ohio
South Carolina
Tennessee
West Virginia

Hey. I assume it might be for the states they are physically located in, if they aren't letting you sign up online.

Yup. I can confirm a 500$ normal ACH transfer (not the fast one) from Chase works just fine.

A bonus this generous with no very few hoops to jump through makes me think a lot of people will get denied even if they follow the terms.

same for chrome but worked in safari.

If I have a personal chase checking account. add a link to this new 5/3 account and transfer funds, that's an ACH transfer?

SC resident here. I applied and was approved by scanning the back of my SC drivers license for the bar code. I set up funding the account by $500 ACH which should count as my direct deposit for this account. Once they send 2 small deposits to my other bank I can verify the my bank account and then it should fund and hopefully will get the $325 pretty quick.
