• Maintain a minimum daily balance of $750
• Maintain a combined balance of $1,500 in checking, savings or money market accounts

You also need to opt for paperless statements otherwise a $3 fee applies. There is an early account termination fee of $25 if closed within 180 days.

Referral Bonus

For future reference, the referral bonus does stack.

Our Verdict

This is a good bonus, requirements aren’t that difficult to meet and $200 is one of the larger bonuses. In addition the best bonus Old National Bank has offered in the past was only $100 and required in branch opening. Definitely worth doing if you’re not that far from a participating branch. Will be adding it to the best checking promotions list.
