FAQs About FSB's Checking Account Bonus Offer
What counts as a qualifying direct deposit?
A direct deposit is any electronic deposit made to your account from an employer, government agency, or retirement provider. It must be deposited into your FSB account using our routing number.
Transfers from other bank accounts or mobile payment apps do not count.
When do I get my checking account bonus?
You’ll receive your $3001 bonus once you've met all the requirements and your account has been in active use for 90 days.
To qualify, you’ll need to open a new FSB checking account, set up a direct deposit of at least $500, and enroll in eStatements.
The account must stay open and in good standing through the entire 90-day period. Once everything’s in place, your bonus will be deposited automatically—no need to follow up.
Can I get the bonus if I already have an FSB account?
Our checking account bonus is for new checking customers only—but if you already bank with us, you can still earn a Refer a Friend bonus. Share FSB with someone new, and you could both get rewarded!
How do I enroll in eStatements?
To enroll in eStatements and meet one of the requirements for the $300 bonus, just follow these quick steps:
-
Log In: Access your Online Banking account at myfsbonline.com.
-
Account Settings: Click on 'Profile' in the upper right-hand corner.

How do I qualify for the $350 mortgage credit?

If approved, the credit will be applied directly to your closing costs. It’s our way of helping you save right from the start.
What’s the difference between High 5 Rewards and Secure Checking?
High 5 Rewards gives you cashback each month when you meet simple activity requirements—like debit card use and eStatements.
Secure Checking includes built-in protection like ID theft monitoring and cell phone coverage for a small monthly fee. Both accounts have no minimum balance requirements or transaction fees.
Can I open a checking account online or at a branch?
Yes, you can open your account online in just a few minutes, or visit any FSB Branch if you’d prefer to apply in person. Either way, you're eligible for the $3001 bonus when you meet the requirements.
