    • No minimum balance requirement

    • Or $10.95 per month without direct deposit to ACU.

• No previous relationship within the last six months and no previous losses to the credit union.
• The incentive money will be deposited within 90-days of meeting requirements.
• Requirements must be met within 60-days of account opening to receive the incentive money.
• If the account is open less than six months, the incentive money will be collected at account closing.
• Cannot be combined with any other offer.
• Referrer must have an account in good standing to be eligible for referral program.
• Subject to tax reporting.

Bottom Line

This is a modest offer. I would consider other options unless you have a particular need to bank with ACU. More great bank bonuses here (e.g. Chase promos, Bank of America promos, HSBC promos).
