Both you and the person(s) you are referring must be at least 18 years of age to participate. Almost anyone can join Sunward.
- Share the Love: Pass on the code to a friend or family member who has yet to discover the exceptional advantages of being part of Sunward.

Refer a Friend Program
The Sunward (Sunward) Refer a Friend Program is available for a limited time only. Sunward reserves the right to modify, extend, or terminate the Offer at any time without prior notice. The offer is limited to a referred person (“New Member”) receiving one (1) $150 New Member Bonus Offer (“Offer”) and (1) $50 Referral Reward (“Reward”). A referring person (“Existing Member”) can receive an unlimited number of $50 Referral Rewards.
The New Member must provide the referral code before the application process is complete when applying for membership at an Sunward branch. If applying online, the referral code must be entered into the membership application form where indicated.
To participate in the program, both the Existing Member and New Member must be at least 18 years old, reside in the United States, and agree to the terms and conditions of the program. The New Member must meet Sunward membership eligibility requirements and the Existing Member must have their own primary savings account with at least $1 prior to the account opening date of the New Member account.
For a New Member to receive the $150 Offer, they must not have been an Sunward member within the past 180 days. They must open a new membership at Sunward with a minimum deposit of $1, open a Quick Cash or Money Manager Checking account, and they must also establish recurring ACH direct deposits of at least $100. All the above requirements must be met within the first 60 days of establishing membership. Qualifying direct deposits must be ACH deposits of payroll, pension, or government benefits (such as Social Security).
When all the above requirements are met, the New Member will receive an additional $50 Reward if they have been referred by an Existing Member that meets the requirements described within these terms and conditions. The Existing Member will also get a $50 Reward at that time. Offer and Rewards will be deposited into the member’s primary savings account within 40 days of all requirements being met. Accounts must be in good standing at the time of Offer and Reward.
Sunward employees who meet all program requirements are eligible to participate as a New Member. Sunward employees can participate as a referring person but are not eligible to receive a $50 Reward. If an Sunward employee refers another Sunward employee, neither employee is eligible to receive a $50 Reward. New Members, excluding Sunward employees, referred by an Sunward employee will still receive their Offer and Reward as per the conditions of the program.
Tax implications may apply to awarded bonus. Nonresident alien individuals participating in the program should have a current IRS Form W8-BEN on file with Sunward, if applicable, or otherwise be subject to backup withholding.
Sunward is not responsible for any lost, stolen, and/or expired referral codes or links, or any technical issues or errors that may prevent the referrals from joining or enrolling in direct deposit. Sunward reserves the right to disqualify any participants who violate the program rules, Sunward policies, or any applicable laws or regulations.
