What is Refer-a-Friend?

Refer-a-Friend is a great way to share the benefits of banking with Everwise Credit Union. Your friend or family member can receive a $50 Mastercard Digital Reward Card when they register, open a new checking account, and meet the program requirements.

As the referrer, you can receive up to $500 in Mastercard Digital Rewards cards per calendar year! That's $50 for each of your referrals (up to 10) who registers, opens a new checking account, and meets program requirements.

How does it work?

Have friends or family you'd like to refer? Begin by registering at everwisecu.com/refer. You'll receive a unique referral link to share with anyone you want. The unique link will take them to a simple form to register for the offer. Once they open a qualifying account and have satisfied all program requirements, you'll be issued your $50 Mastercard Digital Reward Card(s).

Please note: Digital reward cards typically arrive within 2-3 weeks.


What requirements need to be met to qualify for the reward?

In order to receive your Reward Card, the person you refer simply needs to:

  • Register for the Refer-a-Friend program
  • Open a new checking account*
  • Complete at least one of the following:
    - Enroll in eStatements through mobile or online banking
    - Make at least one (1) direct deposit totaling $500 or more within 60 days of opening the account

Easy! Once the program conditions are met, you'll both receive a $50 Mastercard Reward Card (please allow 2-3 weeks for delivery).

* Eligible checking accounts include Simply, Plus, and Max Checking. For full requirements, view the Refer-a-Friend Terms & Conditions.

How many people can I refer?

You can refer as many friends and family members as you want, but you can only receive a maximum of $500 in referral rewards within a calendar year. People you refer can only receive one Mastercard Digital Reward Card once they open their account and meet all program requirements.

Who is eligible?

You and the friends and family members you refer must be 18 years old and meet the Refer-a-Friend eligibility requirements. Anyone you refer will be considered ineligible if they have had a banking relationship with Everwise in the last 12 months or are already Everwise members. Everwise employees (as well as business, organizational, and commercial accounts) are not eligible. View the Refer-a-Friend Terms & Conditions for complete eligibility requirements.

When will I receive my reward?

Your reward typically arrives 2-3 weeks after meeting all program requirements. Mastercard Digital Reward Cards are valid for six months from the date they are issued, and subject to Mastercard's Terms & Conditions provided with the card.

How do I invite friends?

Once you register at everwisecu.com/refer you'll get a referral link that you can share via email, text message, or even by posting on social media. Once your friend opens your unique link, they can register for the offer and then open their qualifying checking account.

What information do I need to provide when I make a referral?

When you register at everwisecu.com/refer, you simply can share your unique referral link on social media or send it in an email or text message. We'll take it from there.

If you're on the ReferLive website or using the ReferLive app, you'll need to provide your referral's:

  • First and last name
  • Email address

Sending a text message from the ReferLive app? All you need to provide is your referral's mobile phone number.

My friend/family member opened an account, but we haven't received our rewards yet.

It can take 2-3 weeks for your Rewards Card to arrive once the person you referred has met all program requirements. Member privacy is a top priority, so we aren't able to share details about your referral's account progress. But if your referral believes they have met the account requirements and you still haven't received your reward within the 2-3 week time frame, please contact the ReferLive Team at:
