How it works
FAQs about the Member Giveback Bonus
Are joint accounts eligible for the bonus?
Joint account holders are not eligible to receive a Member Giveback Bonus. When an account has joint owners, only the primary account owner is eligible to receive the bonus in their savings account.
When will I receive my bonus?
Member Giveback Bonus funds are automatically deposited into every eligible member’s Membership Savings account in January or February of each year. In 2023, members who were eligible for the bonus received their cashback reward no later than February 1. You can see your Membership Savings account at any time by logging in to Online Banking.
Does everyone receive the same bonus amount?
