This offer is limited to a new personal Associated Bank checking account opened and funded through November 15, 2025. Receive up to a $600 bonus with required minimum opening deposit (Associated Access Checking: $25, Associated Balanced or Choice Checking: $100) and recurring direct deposits totaling $500 or more within 90 days of account opening from an employer or government agency. Person-to-person payments and transfers from existing or external accounts do not qualify as the required direct deposit transactions.
Determining your bonus: 90 days (or the previous business day), after opening your checking account, we will calculate the sum of the average daily balance for all your open Associated Bank deposit accounts for days 31-90. Total average daily balances of $1,000-$4,999.99 will earn $300, $5,000-$9,999.99 will earn $400 and $10,000 and over will earn $600.
All personal Associated Bank checking, savings, money market, IRA and/or CD account balances are included in the calculation to determine your total average deposit balance. Accounts must be titled with the same primary account holder to qualify for the bonus. Deposit balances from business, HSA, investment, minor or private banking accounts are ineligible. Associated Choice Checking is an interest-earning account and interest is paid on the daily collected balance. Obtain the current annual percentage yield (APY) here.
The bonus will be deposited into the new Associated Bank checking account within 120 days of account opening. Account must be open at the time the bonus is paid and must remain open for a minimum of 12 months. If the account is closed within 12 months, Associated Bank reserves the right to deduct the monetary bonus from the account prior to closing.
