1New Money Offer: Earn up to a $1,000 cash bonus. This offer is for new and existing members. Cash bonuses are earned based on a tiered payout structure and determined by the amount you grow your deposit account balances through new money deposits over a 90-calendar-day period (“Tracking Period”). 

The process to enroll and qualify for the new money offer is as follows:

  • You can enroll at a branch, through our Contact Center, or by phone/video appointment. You can also enroll through online account opening by entering offer code NM2024 or by completing an enrollment form via Online Banking.

  • Your total combined deposit balances as of the end of the calendar day prior to your enrollment date will serve as the Starting Balance.2

  • You will have 14 calendar days post-enrollment to deposit new money and increase your deposit balances.

  • After the 14 calendar-day period, the Tracking Period begins, where combined balances across all deposit products will be tracked for the offer.

  • After the Tracking Period ends, the cash bonus will be determined by calculating the difference between the Starting Balance and the Average Daily Balance3 of your combined end-of-day deposit balances throughout the Tracking Period.

  • If the difference between the balances results in positive growth of at least $25,000, you will earn a cash bonus as outlined in the payout tiers below.
