1To qualify for the $600 checking bonus, open a Northwest Affinity Checking account by 9/30/2026 and make direct deposits totaling $1,000 or more within a single statement cycle within the first 3 statement cycles from 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). Offer code must be applied at account opening to qualify for this offer. The Affinity Plus Checking account is subject to a $15 monthly service fee that can be avoided with a $5,000 average daily balance or $15,000 deposit and/or investment relationship balance. The Affinity Premier Checking account is subject to a $25 monthly service fee that can be avoided with a $15,000 average daily balance or $50,000 deposit and/or investment relationship balance. To receive the bonus, you must meet the deposit requirement(s) and your checking account must be open at the time the bonus is paid out. 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.

Ŧ Early 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.

**Transactions typically occur in minutes when the recipient’s email address or U.S. mobile number is already enrolled with Zelle® . Must have a bank account in the U.S. to use Zelle®. In order to send payment requests or split payment requests to a U.S. mobile number, the mobile number must already be enrolled with Zelle®. Scheduled or recurring payments sent directly to your recipient’s account number (instead of an email address or mobile number) are made available by Northwest Bank but are a separate service from Zelle® and can take 1–3 business days to process. Zelle® and the Zelle®-related marks are wholly owned by Early Warning Services, LLC and are used herein under license.

Northwest Bank is Member FDIC.
