Oh, the joy: You could get up to $500!

It's not just limited to friends. You can also refer your family, frenemies, or acquaintances.

How to make referrals.

1. Invite your friends.

Visit "refer a friend" in online banking or your mobile app.

2. They complete the referral steps.

Cheer them on as they crush their goals and get you both closer to earning $50.

3. You both get $50!

There's no limit to the number of referrals you can make, and you can earn up to $500 each calendar year. The more friends who join STCU, the more you can earn.

👍 Pro-tip: Friends don't refer friends out of the blue. Reach out to them before you hit send and let them know it's coming. That makes it less likely your referral will be overlooked, trust us.

Have you been referred?

Your friend (or family, etc.) loves us and thinks you might, too. That's why they sent a referral email to you. Check out that email to get to know us better and learn how to earn $50 for you and for your friend.

Here are the steps at a glance:

  • Open an STCU free checking, Relationship Rewards checking, or dividend checking account and get a debit card.
Within 90 days of opening your account:
  • Sign up for online statements.
  • Make five debit transactions of $25 or more.
  • Direct deposit a total of $1,200 into your new account.

Once you've met all the requirements, the $50 will be deposited into your account within 30 days.
