If you live in Oregon, Washington, California, or Idaho, you may be able to take advantage of a promotion being offered by Banner Bank.
The dollar amounts are pretty good for an offer nowadays, given higher interest rates and the hassle of moving over a direct deposit, so this might be a good fit for someone in search of a bonus offer.
This is possible for both new and existing customers.
Who is Banner Bank?
Banner Bank is a regional bank with branches in OR, WA, CA and ID. They are FDIC insured (FDIC #28489) and were founded more than 130 years ago with solid financials (five stars from Bauer Financial) and $16.6 billion in assets.
What they lack in a geographic footprint, they make up for with all their charitable work. In 2020, they supported more than a thousand charitable and community causes within their foot print. They gave over $3.5 million and thousands of volunteer hours. It seems like a great bank to work with.
