Looking for a virtual bank bonus?

You’ve come to the right place. Two of the more popular online banks offer referral bonuses as a reward to existing customers and an incentive for new customers. To help you understand more about these offers, I’ve written an in-depth review of referral programs focusing on the two main players, ING Direct and VirtualBank. Both of these banks offer competitive interest rates (see their current rates in the sidebar of this site) on their high yield savings accounts and profitable new account bonuses.

Are you looking for a virtual bank bonus?

The links below lead to pages with a form you can fill out to receive a referral invitation email, plus more detailed information about the banks and their savings accounts. To get the bonus, you must receive a referral invitation from an existing account holder. Filling out the forms on the following pages will ensure that your request is received by an account holder.

VirtualBank offers new customers $20

ING Direct offers new customers $25

Bonuses are only paid for accounts that are opened with an initial deposit of at least $250 for ING Direct and $100 for VirtualBank. The initial deposit does not include bonus or gift funds. You will have 30 days to use the special referral link in the invitation email to open the new savings account before the offer expires. The account bonus is only available for new accounts with a new customer as the primary owner. Each bonus will be posted as interest income to your account.

You can make literally hundreds of dollars by following bank sign-up bonuses. Browse the site to find more opportunities to make money by opening bank accounts.
