Celebrate Best Friends Day: Free Money for Your Buddy

Two friends doing yoga. They are celebrating both National Best Friends Day and the Academy Bank refer-a-friend program.

June 8 is National Best Friends Day. And while you are posting throwbacks on social media, planning brunch, or texting your bestie a meme they have definitely seen ten times—don’t forget to pass along something even better. This time, your inside jokes come with the outside perk of $50 each, just for sharing the love.

At Academy Bank, we believe in celebrating friendships that go the distance. Whether your bestie is your partner in crime, your chosen family, or just that one friend who never learned how to whisper, now’s the perfect time to share something worth shouting from the rooftops: Academy Bank’s referral program.

How Our Refer-A-Friend Program Works (and Why It’s Kind of Genius)

You already have matching shirts, so why not have matching $50 Reward Cards? Our Refer-A-Friend program lets you share something great, while adding a little extra to your wallets.

Here’s how to turn friendship into finances and join the referral program:

  • STEP 1: Start with a Referral — Invite your friend to join Academy Bank with this special referral link. Like a good secret, it’s meant to be shared (loudly).
  • STEP 2: Your Friend Opens a Qualifying Checking Account — There are options! Your friend can pick from Select Rewards Checking, Simply Free Checking, Elite Investment Checking, Student Checking, or Safe Spending. (They can compare checking accounts side-by-side here).
  • STEP 3: They Complete Two Easy Tasks Within 60 Days
    • Enroll in Digital Banking.
    • Make at least one (1) direct deposit or mobile deposit of $300 or more.
  • STEP 4: You BOTH get a $50 Visa® Reward Card — Cha ching!

And the fun doesn’t stop there! You can refer up to five (5) friends and earn up to $250. Because the only thing better than one best friend is… five besties.

Friendship That Pays Off

When it comes to friendship and finances, the best duos know how to win together. So, celebrate National Best Friends Day by telling your favorite people about Academy Bank’s referral program. Send the link, share the love, and let the rewards roll in! After all, friends don’t let friends miss out on free money…or the best checking accounts.
