Atlantic Union Bank Checking – $800.00 Bonus with code NCXP8
Admin Heads up, deal hunters: Atlantic Union Bank is paying an $800.00 bonus to new customers who open the Atlantic Union Bank Checking and meet the requirements below. This one is open to residents of Virginia, Maryland, North Carolina and Washington, D.C.
How you earn it: Open a new eligible checking account between October 13 and December 31, 2026 with promo code NCXP8; Set up qualifying direct deposits within 90 days of opening: $1,000-$4,999.99 earns a $400 bonus, $5,000-$9,999.99 earns $600, and $10,000 or more earns $800; Qualifying direct deposits are salary, pension or Social Security payments; transfers between your own accounts, wires and person-to-person payments do not count; A $25 minimum opening deposit is required, and the bonus is deposited within 30 days after the 90-day deposit period ends. This bonus does require direct deposit: your tier is set by the total of qualifying direct deposits that post within 90 days of opening, so make sure your paycheck or benefits land in the new account.
Who’s it for? Anyone in the bank’s footprint who already gets its mailings and has a paycheck or benefits to direct-deposit. Free Checking carries no monthly fee, and the other eligible accounts waive theirs with direct deposit or a minimum balance, so fees should not eat into the bonus while you wait for it to post.
Use promo code NCXP8 when you open the account so the bonus tracks correctly — enter it exactly as shown. We confirmed the code was listed on the offer page when this post was verified.
