No. The required funding amount must be provided through a single deposit from an external source directly to your Citizens personal savings within 10 business days of account opening.
Once initial offer requirements are met, eligibility for the savings bonus is evaluated each month.

* To earn your bonus: Get up to $1,800 over twelve monthly qualification periods. To qualify for this promotion, customers must have an existing Citizens checking account, open a new eligible savings account between October 1 and November 15, 2026, and satisfy the applicable savings bonus requirements. To earn the savings bonus 1.) Open a new One Deposit Savings, Citizens Quest® Savings, or Citizens Private Client® Savings account between October 1 and November 15, 2026. 2.) Make one single deposit totaling at least $15,000 in new money into the new savings account no later than 10 business days after account opening from an external funding source. For each calendar month, earn $50 if the new savings account's end-of-day daily balance is $15,000 through $39,999.99, or $150 if that balance is $40,000 or more. The maximum savings bonus is $1,800. The tier is determined separately each month, so you may move between tiers. A new savings account balance below $15,000 earns no bonus for that month but does not prevent qualification in a later month when an eligible balance is restored.
Eligibility: Checking and savings accounts must continuously stay open and in good standing throughout the offer period to be considered for a bonus. New account(s) must have a balance greater than zero and remain open and active throughout the payout date. Any account that remains at zero balance may be closed if it is not funded. Each customer may participate in the consumer offer once. If multiple new savings accounts are opened on the same day, only the first savings account to satisfy the qualifying requirements will be eligible to receive the bonus. Current and prior Citizens savings account ownership is permitted. New money means external funds not currently on deposit with Citizens or Citizens Access®. Qualifying deposit amounts are based on one single deposit deposited within 10 business days of new savings account opening from an external funding source. The primary owner may receive up to twelve bonuses per eligible Citizens savings account under this offer. This offer may not be combined with another checking or savings offer, as applicable. Offer eligibility is determined at Citizens’ sole discretion. Right to Terminate: Citizens may modify, suspend, or terminate this offer at any time. Disqualification: Reward will be denied or forfeited if: (1) the new money requirement is not met or maintained, as defined above. For Consumer: Citizens Private Bank® Savings, and Citizens Access® Online Savings accounts are not eligible.
Payout: Each earned savings bonus, labeled "Promo Bonus," will be deposited into the applicable new savings account on the last day of the month following the month in which all applicable savings requirements are met. Bonuses may be reported to the IRS for income tax purposes. The applicable new account must remain open through its payment date; if it is closed earlier, the related bonus will not be paid.
