Editor's Notes & Price Research

Written by
  • Review the complete terms and conditions here.
  • Checking Offer:
    • Account(s) must be funded within 90 days of account opening or account may be closed, and you may not be eligible for the bonus. The $375 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 anyone who has an ownership interest (including, but not limited to, primary owner or joint owner) in any existing Fifth Third checking or a Fifth Third checking account that closed within the last 13 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. No minimum deposit required to open a checking account.

For those having trouble with the link not showing the correct offer. It was SD link redirect screwing it up. Copied the link and tried in another browser and it worked.

Replace "hxxps" with "https"

I had an account I closed 12 months ago, so need to wait another month before I can open a new account for bonus.

Where does it say you can only open an account online if you live in a state with a Fifth Third branch? The offer page from the link doesn't make any mention of that condition.

He/she is saying you can open a new account "online" if you have a local branch. For people outside of 53 bank physical branch footprint can't open new account (online or in a branch).

I can't say for certain but a "Direct Deposit" is it's own thing vs what you are saying which would be a "transfer" so I don't think you could
