The Offer
- Quontic Bank is offering 7,500 Swagbucks ($75) when you open a new High Interest Checking account with an initial deposit of $100 or more
The Fine Print
- All bank account bonuses are treated as income/interest and as such you have to pay taxes on them
Avoiding Fees
Monthly Fees
They have three accounts, all with no monthly fees. High interest checking account offers 1.01% APY, it’s possible only this account qualifies for the bonus (terms are a little unclear, but I’d just stick with this account). Â and cash rewards checking account offers 1.5% on debit card purchases.
Early Account Termination Fee
Unsure if there is any early account termination fee.
Our Verdict
The 1.5% cash back is interesting, you can see the restrictions here. Quontic has raised $11+ million. We often see these neobanks raise the bonus over time, so really up to you if you want to go for this offer or wait for a larger offer to arrive. We will still add it to our best bank account bonuses page for people that are happy with the $75.

Does Quontic 1.5% unlimited cash back checking work with PayPal Bill Pay? This will allow you to earn cash back when paying bills including credit cards.
Did you find this out, one way or another? It appears you can use this debit card to pay Citi, some Cap1, and some Synchrony cards by phone or in-store (i.e.: Home Depot credit card)…which may be better than other 1% options.
I was trying to get the online banking, and had errors that requires me to call their customer service. The CS agent was so unprofessional, (make chuchuchu shoshosho sounds while typing). Initially I am also interested in getting the 1.5% cash back debit card, now I’m not sure LOL
8/11/21 Opened Account and Funded With $100
Never tracked for me. I opened the Cash Rewards Checking. Not sure if that mattered.
9/12/21 Opened Ticket With Swagbucks and 35min later I was credited 7500 points
Opened 8/10
9/11 Received 7500 Swagbucks
Quontic is raising the amount which can earn 1.0% to $150K effective 9/8/21. Any excess will earn 0.3% but the base amount (150K) will no longer be penalized with the lower rate:
Anyone close their account yet? Early termination fee?
I have a cash rewards account and i assume i can zero it out and let it sit
This bank pulls Chex but is not sensitive.
