$160 Referral Bonus

This bonus has the same requirements listed above. Here’s how it works:

Fill out the Refer A Friend form found HERE. Print it out, give it to a friend, and recommend a new, qualifying FBFC checking account.
When your friend opens a new, qualifying, checking account with us, and meets a few requirements, you will receive $160!
Your friend will also receive $160 at the same time!

Eligibility

This offer is valid in Wisconsin only.
If any owner or signer on the account has previously been an owner or signer on a different First Bank Financial Centre (FBFC) consumer checking account within the past three (3) years, FBFC reserves the right to deny this incentive.
FBFC will honor one (1) offer per household (physical, residential address).

Fees

Value Checking has a $6 monthly fee. With each debit card purchase reduces monthly fee by $0.25 up to a maximum of $6.
Premier Checking has a $10 monthly fee waived with a balance of $500.

Guru’s Wrap-Up

This bonus used to be $300 a few years back. But if you don’t have many other options, then you could go for it if you are in WI. You can choose one of the three requirements, you don’t need to do all three. Six online bill payments of $25 or more would probably be my choice. Maybe pay a utility bill. Please let me know if you have dealt with this bank in the past. We don’t know if it’s a soft or hard pull. The latter would definitely kill the deal.
