Referral Bonuses
The same $86 bonus will be paid to the referrer (existing Member) and referee (new Member). The "referrer" bonus is only available to existing Members of Orange County's Credit Union who have checking accounts. The "referee" bonus is available to "new" Members only. A "new" Member is defined as a person who has never been an owner or signer of a checking or savings account or loan with Orange County's Credit Union.
Bonus Payout
Referrer and referee bonuses will be paid out within 90 days after the referee opens the eligible checking account and meets all the eligibility requirements. Referral form must be presented at the time the new checking account is opened. Form must be completely filled out so we have adequate information to pay out the cash bonus to the friend who made the referral. Referrer and referee bonuses will be paid by deposit to respective checking accounts. The notation "Refer" will appear on the referrer's statement. Referee bonus paid represents dividends deposited into your account and may be reported to the IRS. Any applicable taxes are the responsibility of the recipient.
Eligibility

Social Security can be used as a direct deposit for Basic, Interest, and Plus Checking accounts. The referee's checking account must remain open and maintain eStatement preference for 90 days or referral bonus may be reversed. Offer only available at branch locations. Offer not available in conjunction with other offers. Individuals may not refer themselves for the referral bonus. All accounts are subject to normal approval standards. Minimum opening deposit is $25.00 for Checking accounts. Basic, Access, Plus, and Pacific Checking accounts do not earn dividends.
