EQ Bank promotion

As the online bank launched by Equitable Bank, EQ Bank already offers higher-than-standard interest rates. As a result, EQ Bank doesn’t typically offer interest rate promotions. Instead, this digital bank offers an ongoing referral program — allowing new customers to use an EQ referral code to open an account that prompts cashback for both the new client and the friend who provided the EQ referral code. That doesn’t mean EQ Bank doesn’t launch savings account promotions. Here are the latest EQ Bank promotions:
