S&T Bank Business Checking Bonus
🔃 Update: This offer is now up to a maximum bonus of $900. Expires September 30, 2024.
S&T Bank has a new bonus of up to $900 for business checking accounts. This offer is available in PA and OH only. Half the bonus is pretty easy to obtain, while the other half requires signing up for a payment processing account through Elavon. Let’s see how this S&T Bank Business Checking bonus works and whether it makes sense for you.
Bonus Details
This bonus comes in two parts. The first part is a bonus of $300 or $600 for a new Basic Business Checking account. Here’s how that works
- To qualify for the $300 incentive, open a new Basic Business Checking account and fund with $1,000 within the first five business days of account opening. Must have a daily balance of $1,000 or more on November 8, 2024.
- To qualify for the $600 incentive, open a new Basic Business Checking account and fund with $25,000 within the first five business days of account opening. Must have a daily balance of $25,000 or more on November 8, 2024.
Business must also apply, receive and activate an S&T Bank business debit card that is associated with the new Basic Business Checking account by August 5, 2024. Account will receive appropriate incentive on November 21, 2024. To receive the incentive, this account must remain open with a balance greater than $0 on August 5, 2024, and never be overdrawn.
Then comes the second part of the bonus. To qualify for the additional $300 incentive:
- A new S&T payment processing account through Elavon must be opened by September 30, 2024 and have accepted customer payments, settled and funded by Elavon.
- If the S&T payment processing account remains open through November 8, 2024, the $300 incentive will be credited to the S&T Basic Business checking account on November 21, 2024.
Incentives will show as “Cash Incentive” on your monthly statement. The value of the incentives may be reported on Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Form 1099 and may be considered taxable income to you. Please consult your tax advisor regarding your specific situation.
Eligibility
- The offer is available in PA and OH only.
- New account will not be eligible for offer if any signer has signing authority on an existing S&T Bank business checking account.
- You are not eligible if you have closed an account within the past 90 days or have been paid a promotional premium in the past 12 months.
- If you open multiple accounts with the same signers, only one account will be eligible for the incentive.
- Estate accounts are not eligible for this promotion.
- Limit one $300 incentive per merchant, regardless of the number of business locations. Business is subject to underwriting and approval by Elavon.
- Offer only available to merchants inside the United States.
Account Fees
The Basic Business Checking account has no monthly fees.
Elavon charges 2.65% plus 19 cents per transaction fee on all “card present” transactions. I’m not sure if there are any other fees when signing up.
Guru’s Wrap-Up
A great business checking bonus for those in PA and OH. You just need to open the account with $1,000 and keep it in the account for one to two months to get the first half of the bonus. You can go for the $600 bonus with a $25K deposit.
The Basic Business Checking account has no monthly fees. For the second half of the bonus you need to create a S&T payment processing account through Elavon and complete at least one transaction. You won’t pay much in fees for a small transaction, but I’m not sure if there are any setup fees.
Bank bonuses in general are a great way to earn some extra income, often from the comfort of your home. You can take a look at my bank bonus results for 2022 where I made over $6,000.
