Cash-Back Checking for Everyday Life

1No category restrictions on purchases. Cash back earned on as much as $200 in purchases monthly. Earn as much as $120 cash back per year, $10 per month.

How to Earn 5.00% Cash Back*

Qualifying is easier than you might think.

Complete these three simple activities during each Monthly Qualification Cycle:

12 Debit Card Purchases

Use your Surf debit card at least 12 times during the monthly qualification cycle.

1 Direct Deposit or ACH Payment

Have at least one direct deposit or ACH payment post to your account.

Enroll in eStatements

Receive your monthly statements electronically.

That's it! Meet all these qualifications and you can earn up to 5.00% cash back on your everyday purchases - plus receive refunds on ATM withdrawal fees nationwide*. If you don't qualify one month, your account is still free, and you can qualify again the next cycle.

Additional Benefits

Surf Checking comes with added protection and convenience to help you manage your money with confidence.

Overdraft Protection

Our standard overdraft protection links your checking account and savings account if your balance is not enough to cover a transaction.

Courtesy Pay

When you don't have sufficient funds, we may be able to cover your transaction at our discretion. Fees may apply, and accounts must be in good standing.

Digital Banking

Manage your account anytime, anywhere with online and mobile banking, mobile deposit, card controls and more.
