Account can be opened online or by bringing this email with the promo code to a financial center; promo code must be entered at account opening. A qualifying Direct Deposit is an Automated Clearing House (ACH) credit, which may include payroll, pension or government payments (such as Social Security).

After all qualifying activity requirement(s) have been fully completed and verified, the bonus will be deposited into your new account, typically within 30 days after the statement cycle in which you satisfy the requirement(s). Offer is not available to existing Northwest checking account customers or to those with a Northwest checking account that has been closed within the last 12 months. Northwest Bank reserves the right to limit each customer to one new account-related bonus per calendar year. Eligibility may be limited based on your account type and ownership role. Bonus is subject to IRS 1099-INT or, if you do not possess a Social Security number or Individual Taxpayer Identification number, the bonus will be reported on IRS form 1042-S. Employees of Northwest Bank, its affiliates and subsidiaries are not eligible for this offer. Cannot be combined with any other offer.

2Early Pay is a free service made available on eligible checking accounts enrolled in direct deposit. Early Pay grants you access to your eligible direct deposit payments up to two days prior to the scheduled payment date. Early availability is based on the timing of the payer’s payment instruction and standard fraud prevention restrictions apply. Early access to direct deposit will not occur on weekends or holidays and is based on when the originator provides payment details. If originator does not send the deposit in a timely manner, your deposit will arrive on the original scheduled date.
*The average daily balance is calculated by adding the principal in the account for each day of the period and dividing that figure by the number of days in the period. Deposit balance: Calculated by adding the current balances in all Northwest Bank deposit accounts as of the close of your statement cycle for this checking account. Accounts used to calculate your total deposit balances include all Northwest checking, savings, money market, certificate of deposit, and individual retirement accounts owned by at least one of the owners listed on this checking account. Only personal accounts that are either solely owned, jointly owned, or account trustees, will qualify for relationship balances. Holds placed on deposits according to our Funds Availability Policy Disclosure do not reduce your current balance for deposit relationship balance calculation. Any account used in the calculation of your deposit relationship balance may be subject to its own service charge and must still meet the requirements disclosed for waiving the service charge specific to that account as applicable. Investment balances: Must be held in an eligible personal LPL Financial account with Northwest Investment Services. Investment products that are excluded from balance calculations, include life insurance products, Turnkey Asset Management Platform (TAMP) accounts and other investments that are classified as Alternative Investments at LPL Financial. LPL Financial accounts must have all required account paperwork up to date. LPL accounts must be held in the primary account holder name and have the same SSN or TIN associated with the Affinity Checking Account. Investment balances will be calculated using LPL Financial month end values.
