How can you earn more? Great question!
Jovia's Go Green Checking gives back when you do more. You can earn Jovia’s special bonus rate on balances up to $25,000, and a very competitive rate for any balances over $25,000 when you:
- Spend $250 using your debit card for everyday purchases (like buying groceries).
- Save some trees and sign up to receive paperless statements.
- Either receive a Direct Deposit transaction of $100 or more each month or pay one bill a month with our Bill Pay service.
If you do all of these things, you’ll also get up to $20 in monthly ATM rebates, just in case the closest ATM isn't a Jovia ATM.
