Our Verdict
Better than the $100 referral bonuses that were offered in the past. Think this is worth doing if you’re eligible and haven’t done it before. This will be added to our best bank bonuses.

Looks expired. Link goes to 404 error.
Denied. Here’s were reasons they said:
I applied on 2/14/25 and used EIN and took D/L picture and selfie, submitted application showed under view. I checked status today denied application.
Waste time and a Chex!
404 error page. Seems to have gone inactive.
Is this $300 bonus still active? Anyone know $40 referral can stack this $300 bonus?
Nobody knows yet whether the stack will work. There is a space to enter a referral code so you can try.
But the terms say “one bonus per account is permitted” so it’s a gamble. You might get just $40. You might get just $300. You might win and get $340.
I tried it. Opened a month ago so I’ll have a solid DP by May. Hope I don’t regret it, lol.
Thanks!
Did send a message to customer service to confirm $300 bonus promo code applied to your account?
I did the gamble and only the 40 referral bonus has paid out so far 🙁
Any new DPs?
You MUST have an EIN to do this SUB. If you enter your SSN as the EIN it will allow it – until you get to the very last page to submit where it says your EIN can’t be the same as you SSN.
Same, I have a legit sole proprietorship that I’ve been reporting on schedule C for years using my SSN, and that’s not good enough for Novo. I contacted their support and they just repeated the same. Whatever, I don’t like fintechs anyway.
Is it just me or is transferring money into this account painfully slow? I’ve done several pulls into this account starting a week ago and they are still pending. But when I deposited a check it only took a 2 business days to clear.
I pulled from a biz account with the same EIN and it credited in 2 biz days. Of course it’s still painfully slow due to the $1250/day limit.
It is better to push the funds in, unless you are transferring from Chase. Pushed funds credited in 1-2 biz days.
I would not cut the 30-day grace period for funding too close with this fintech. They seem shady.
Figured out how to check our application status.

Anyone know if the Google CLoud perks are still offered? Looks like their “Integrations” page is now generic and doesn’t specify what perks there are
