Live Oak Bank: $200 Bonus on $20,000 Deposit (New and Existing Customers)

MyMoneyBlog.com - Wed, 04/22/2026 - 02:58

(Update: Offer is back. Again available to both new and existing customers depositing new funds. For existing customers, the deposits must be in addition to your balance as of 4/19/26.)

Live Oak Bank is an FDIC-insured internet bank that is focused on lending to small businesses. Their personal savings account has a limited-time offer of a $200 bonus if you deposit $20,000+ in new funds into their online savings account by 11:59 p.m. ET on 5/31/2026 via this special offer page and keep it there for 60 days. The current interest rate is 3.80% APY. Direct deposit is not required. Valid for both new and existing customers, as long as you are adding new money (lookback date is 4/19/26).

Unlike some other deposit bonuses, the 60-day window starts when the new money hits:

Beginning on the date in April or May 2026 when the new account attains a balance of at least $20,000, if the balance remains equal to or exceeding $20,000 for 60 consecutive days, then the account will be eligible for the bonus if all other conditions are met. If all eligibility criteria are met, the $200 cash bonus will be deposited to your open, eligible account within 45-days following the expiration of the 60-day period.

Bonus math. This is a 1% bonus on $20,000 if you keep it there for 60 days, which makes it the equivalent of 6% APY annualized. Bonus will be paid around Day 105 and the account must be open at that time, but you only need to maintain full balance through Day 60. The bonus is on top of the standard interest rate, currently a competitive 3.80% APY as of 4/22/26.

This equivalent of roughly 9.80% total APY over 60 days makes it a solid offer for those with compatible balances looking for short-term place to hold their cash for a few months. Live Oak Bank seems to come and go with the competitiveness of their rates, but it’s nice that this is available to existing customers.
