- Earn 10 cents for every debit transaction over $51

How do I activate My Rewards?
The My Rewards cash payouts are activated when you meet the following requirements on a monthly basis:
- Enrolled in e*Statements
- Receive a MyAlert
- Direct deposit of $500+
- Login to Online Banking or our mobile app
If you don't meet these four requirements by the end of the calendar month, you won't receive the monthly cash reward - but you'll still have a fantastic and free checking.
*As of 12/20/2022, Oregonians pays the highest potential dollar amount per debit transaction of all financial institutions with physical branch locations in the State of Oregon that promote a cash back checking product on a publicly available website. This statement is accurate as of the stated time of research.
1In order to receive the My Rewards Checking monthly cash reward, all four My Rewards requirements must be met as of the last day of the rewards account cycle. A My Rewards Savings will be opened with your My Rewards Checking and your cash reward will be posted to the savings no later than the 5th day of the month following the close of the rewards account cycle. The account cycle runs from the first day of the month to the last day of the month. You will not receive a reward payout the month you close your account or if your account is not in good standing.
2The loan premium balance requirement applies to secured loans and can only be earned during the first twelve months following your My Rewards Checking account opening.
