The Offer
- Receive a bonus of $100 when you open a checking account with Sunflower bank, the requirements for the bonus are not listed. But reader Logan found them out (thanks, Logan!):
- Receive $50 for opening your households first checking account
- Receive $10 for enrolling in eStatements
- Receive $10 for each automatic deposit or automatic payment from the new account (up to three)
- Receive $10 for applying for a Sunflower Bank credit card
The Fine Print
- All bank account bonuses are treated as income/interest and as such you have to pay taxes on them
Avoiding Fees
There is a $6 monthly fee, this is reduced to $1 when you enrolled in eStatements. Every time you use your debit card the fee will be reduced by 25¢ as well. I wasn’t able to find a fee schedule, so I’m unsure if one is charged or not
Our Verdict
Not a great bonus as you only get $90 without the credit card application and there is no bonus on those cards. There is also no credit card funding, I think there are much better options out there for most people (you can find a list of them here).

I’m a healthcare professional from ks. Going to check it out and give my feedback.
Doc I reached out to sunflower and here’s their response.
Thank you for your email and your interest in this program! The way to qualify for the $100.00 checking bonus is to open a new Spend & Sign & Save account. You receive $50.00 for opening your household’s first checking account, $10.00 for enrolling in eStatements, $10.00 for each automatic deposit or automatic payment from the new account (up to 3) and $10.00 for applying for a Sunflower Bank credit card.
As an added benefit, every time that you swipe your brand new debit card and select “credit” (instead of keying in your pin number), Sunflower Bank will contribute 5 cents to the designated local health care foundation or program in your area.
Thanks, updated post.
