Bonus Details
$350 bonus, limited to one per member, credited to the primary owner within 60 days of meeting the requirements. Also one order of free checks per year.
How To Qualify
Open SECU Total Checking & Rewards online or in-branch 9/1/26–12/31/26 with code SECU350. Within 90 days of opening, enroll in e-statements and receive at least 2 separate qualifying direct deposits in checking: recurring electronic payroll, pension or Social Security. Person-to-person, bank and other electronic money transfers do not qualify. Minimum opening deposits: $25 checking and $10 share savings. Ineligible if you held SECU checking or received a SECU checking promotional bonus within the last 24 months. Membership and accounts must be in good standing to receive the bonus.
APY Details
Qualifying Platinum members can earn up to 2.00% APY on the portion of checking balances above $75,000. Interest is calculated as a blended APY, not a flat 2.00% yield on the entire balance. Published APYs are dated 11/01/22 and rates are subject to change.
APY Requirements
Platinum requires $100,000 in combined qualifying deposit and loan balances OR $25,000 in one checking account, plus e-statements and full-check direct deposit of at least $500 per month. Eligible direct deposits are recurring payroll, Social Security, or pension deposits into checking held as primary owner. The 2.00% APY tier applies above $75,000 in checking. Accounts must be in good standing; rewards levels reset to Bronze monthly and are calculated on the last day of the month. These ongoing rewards requirements are separate from the welcome bonus requirements.
