Ally has launched a pilot referral program. The person being referred receives a $100 bonus and the person referring receives a $50 referral bonus. The person being referred needs to receive a direct deposit within 60 days of sign up to receive the bonus. The standard Ally bonus is 1% of the deposit and that is available for new & existing customers, as that offer works for existing customers you’d be able to do both of these if that offer returns.
