Op not everyone can open account online. It's limited to folks living in states which have fifth third branch

"Fifth Third Bank has branches in only 11 states, including Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, North Carolina, Ohio, South Carolina, Tennessee and West Virginia. If you live in one of these states, you can open an account online"

Has anyone successfully gotten a 5/3 cash promo for opening a checking account for their child/minor (under 18 yrs old) in the past? Thanks!

Also, anyone have success in their spouse getting the promo simultaneously with you? I don't see any fine print that says anything like "only 1 promo per household/address", but would love to hear from people's real/actual experience.

Thank you all for sharing Smilie

It finally went through after about 25 tries using different browsers and different solid color backgrounds (and switching between resolution and which camera on the phone was used).
That's the problem I had so I gave up. You are a very patient person.

I figured $375 was worth spending a little time on it. Setting up a $500 direct deposit is easy for me so although it took extra time to get the scanning to work, it's going to be no more than about 30 minutes of my time.

How long does this account has to stay open to avoid any early termination fees?

I created the account but can't log in to online banking. I used my password I made too. And it won't let me use my account number so I can't use that to log in! What the heck, I already set up a $500 direct deposit to it but I need access to the account in order to get my deposit!
Apparently I need to wait til they send my debit card so I can use that number in order to set up online banking. Is this correct?

Ok I logged in but there's no indication that they are sending out a debit card. I need to make sure I get a debit card before I make this direct deposit because otherwise I will have no way to access my 500 bucks im depositing next week!

This is clearly not your only bank. You don't need a debit card to get your money, you could transfer the money to your current bank using the online banking.

You could also use PayPal. There's tons of things you could do.

I;ve been banking with 5/3rd for 20 years. I have about 10 different business and personal lines with them. I recently took advantage of one of their "offers" for a Money Market checking with 5.3% interest. I was already earninig 5.2% at Wealthfront, but thought I'd bring it all in house to my main bank. Anyway, after about a month following the set-up and transfer, I contact my 5/3rd banker saying I'm not earning interest - well, turns out their fine print says I didn't meet such and such requirement. I tell them I did, and that their requirement didnt apply in my case, and even if it did, there is no way to determine what the application would be. I told them I felt deceived by their fine print, was earning basically the same interest without any tricks elsewhere and asked them to credit my account the missing interest - like $125 for the month - they refused. I filed a complaint with the CFPB. I will be banking elsewhere - I don't want to feel like I need a lawyer to make sure my bank is being honest with me about its promotions
