For other circumstances, please refer to the “New Customers Opening More than One Account” disclosures below.

Reward tiers under $200,000 ($5,000-$19,999; $20,000-$49,999; $50,000-$99,999; $100,000-$199,999) will be paid within seven business days following the expiration of the 60 day period. However, if you deposit $200,000 or more, you will receive a cash credit within seven business days, followed by any additional reward based on your fulfillment tier at the expiration of the 60 day period. If you have deposited at least $200,000 in the new account, and you make subsequent deposits in that account to reach a higher tier, you will receive a second cash credit following the close of the 60 day window. For example, if you deposit $250,000, you will receive a cash credit of $700 within seven business days, then if you deposit an additional $300,000 into your new account, you will receive an additional cash credit of $500 at the end of the 60 day window for a total reward of $1,200. If you deposit between $200,000 and $1,499,999 in your new account, you will receive a cash credit in two transactions at the end of the 60 day window—depending on your initial funding amount. If you deposit $1,500,000 or more in your new account, you will receive two cash credits that will total $3,500 within seven business days. Cash credits will be paid to the account where the deposit is made.

New customers opening more than one account

In addition, if you deposit $500,000 or more into your new account, then deposits made in eligible linked accounts during the 60 day period funds will be aggregated for purposes of the reward and the credits will be paid pro-rata to all accounts where deposits were made during the 60 day period. For example, if you have deposited $500,000 in your new account during the 60 day period, and during the same period you deposited $500,000 into another eligible account you have linked to the account you will receive $700 in your new account and $500 into the other eligible account.
