Did you get a mailer from Synovus Bank offering a eye-watering sum for opening an account? If so, we have all the details below in an easy to read explanation.
Synovus Bank has a great targeted offer right now – you can get up to $600. This is targeted, so you need to have received a mailer.
Before we get to the offer, some minor housekeeping. Synovus Bank is a regional bank that is FDIC insured with Certificate #873. They have locations in five states – Alabama, Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, and Tennessee – and a little more than 250 branches.
It has a decently sized geographic footprint but limited to just the south.
Now, onto the offer:
💵 U.S. Bank – up to $450
Earn up to $450 when you open a new U.S. Bank Smartly® Checking account and complete qualifying activities. Subject to certain terms and limitations. Offer valid through September 26, 2024. Member FDIC.
Offer may not be available if you live outside of the U.S. Bank footprint or are not an existing client of U.S. Bank or State Farm.

- To get $450, you must have qualifying direct deposits of $1,000 posted to your new Plus Checking Account within the first 60 days of account opening.

How Does This Offer Compare?
Pretty good!
Sadly, it’s targeted so unless you received this offer in the mail, you can’t get it.
The $600 bonus is much higher than some of the other new account promotions I’ve seen and you can get it by a high deposit or a high monthly direct deposit. You don’t need both to qualify for this offer and it’s an account with no monthly fees.
The only downside is that it’s limited to five states – Alabama, Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, and Tennessee.
Here are some nationwide and regional offers to give you a sense of how it stacks up:
U.S. Bank – up to $450
Earn up to $450 when you open a new U.S. Bank Smartly® Checking account and a Standard Savings account and complete qualifying activities. Subject to certain terms and limitations. Offer valid through June 27, 2024. Member FDIC.
Offer may not be available if you live outside of the U.S. Bank footprint or are not an existing client of U.S. Bank or State Farm.
