2Earn a cash bonus by opening a new consumer checking account between October 1, 2024, and January 31, 2025, and by completing the qualifying activities within 90 days of the account opening. After the 90-day qualifying period has ended and the qualifying activities have been met, the cash bonus will be deposited into the new consumer checking account within 30 days. Qualifying direct deposits are regular, periodic automated clearing house (ACH) credits, which may include payroll, salary, pension, or government payments (such as Social Security). Deposits that do not qualify are those through the Real-Time Payments (RTP) network, and payments through peer-to-peer networks such as PayPal, Zelle®, Venmo, or others. For Popular Easy Access Checking, direct deposits must total $500 or more. For Popular Everyday Checking, direct deposits must total $1,000 or more. For Popular Prestige Checking, direct deposits must total $2,500 or more. Qualifying debit card transactions include purchases made pin based, signature based and contactless (mobile or online). Recurring transactions also qualify. These transactions must be posted within 90 days of the new checking account opening. ATM withdrawals at a branch using your debit card are not qualifying transactions. Zelle® transactions are not qualifying transactions.

The cash bonus will be deposited into the new Popular Savings account within 30 days after the qualification requirements have been met and verified. The new Popular Savings account and a consumer checking account must be open at the time of verification and remain open with a positive balance until the cash bonus is deposited. The new savings account must have maintained an average balance of $8,000 or more for the following two statement cycles after the initial 30-day period. New money is defined as deposits not currently held with Popular Bank.
