Only one $200 SmartPlus checking incentive can be earned per member. You must not have had a Gesa membership within the last 2 years to be eligible. To be eligible for the additional $50 checking incentive bonus, you must also choose a Local Heroes, Forevergreen, high school or college Affinity debit card during the opening of your new SmartPlus checking account.

The incentive payments are subject to required IRS reporting.

If the requirements are not met during the monthly qualifying period, the “non-qualifying” 0.01% APY will apply to the entire balance.
