Share the Love and $50 with Academy Bank’s Referral Program

Valentine’s Day is right around the corner. Whether you’re planning a romantic dinner, buying that perfect gift, or just trying to show someone you care, one thing is certain—thoughtful gestures go a long way!

But if we’re being honest, sometimes the best gift isn’t chocolate or flowers...it’s a little extra cash in your pocket! Fortunately, Academy Bank’s referral program gives you the chance to share something that lasts longer than candy hearts this Valentine’s Day.

How the Academy Bank Referral Program Works

Roses wilt. Sweets disappear. But a $50 Visa Reward Card for both of you? Now THAT'S a gesture that sticks around! With the Academy Bank referral program, you can give your significant other—or even your friends and family—a better banking experience while earning rewards for yourself too.

Here’s a Step-By-Step Guide:

1. Start with a Referral: Invite a loved one to join Academy Bank with this special referral link.
2. They Open a Checking Account. Your referral chooses from Select Rewards checking, Simply Free checking, Elite Investment checking, Student checking, or Safe Spending accounts. (Want to see them side by side? View our Compare Checking page!)
3. Complete Two Easy Steps Within 60 Days:

• Your loved one enrolls in Digital Banking.
• Makes at least one (1) direct deposit or mobile deposit totaling $300 or more.

4. Cha-ching! You both earn $50.

And here’s the cherry on top: You can refer up to five (5) people and earn a total of $250 IN REWARDS. Because when it comes to love (and referrals), sharing is caring!

Love is Sweet, But Cash is Sweeter

Sure, roses are red, and violets are blue—but $50 for me and $50 for you? Now THAT’S a deal worth celebrating. Academy Bank’s referral program lets you give more than just a gift. It’s a chance to help someone you care about enjoy the benefits of smart banking and rewards. Plus, who doesn’t love cash? Use your special reward to cover your next date night, buy yourself something special, or maybe even save for your next adventure.
