1Offer Terms & Conditions:
To be eligible for the one-time bonus, you must:
(1) be an existing or new member of MCU1 without an existing MCU Everyday Hero Checking account;
(2) open a new Everyday Hero Checking2 account between October 9, 2025, and December 31, 2025 (“Promotion Period”):
(3) fund the account with a minimum of $1,500 of “new to MCU money” within the first fifteen (15) days after opening the new Everyday Hero Checking account (the “Funding Period”); and
(4) maintain a minimum daily balance in the new Everyday Hero Checking account for sixty (60) days after the Funding Period (the “Balance Period”).
The amount of the one-time bonus will depend on: (a) the amount of “new to MCU” money, deposited; and (b) the amount maintained during the Balance Period. The minimum “New to MCU Money” and “Minimum Daily Balance” required to qualify for the one-time bonus amount in the “One-Time Bonus Amount” column are as follows.

“New to MCU money” is defined as funds not on deposit in any MCU account. Funds transferred or deposited from any existing MCU account, loan, line of credit, credit card convenience check, or any other MCU account do not qualify as “new to MCU money.”
The minimum daily balance is the total of the account's ending available balance on each day. The available balance is the amount of money in an account that can be immediately used for spending, withdrawing, or transferring. This amount is your current balance minus any pending transactions, holds on recent deposits, and other potential deductions, providing a more accurate reflection of the funds you can access at that moment.
Upon meeting all requirements of the promotion, the one-time bonus will be deposited into your checking account based on the following schedule:
