BTW, FirstIB has very customer-friendly fee schedule and customer service. It has been my main online bank since Compubank failure in 2001. These days, you may get a better deal for particular banking services (e.g. ACH transfers, wire transfers, ATM rebates) elsewhere but FirstIB still offers a very attractive combination of banking services and fees. Check links on FirstIB info page (below) for more information about this bank.

Terms of referral program:
"Tell your friends, neighbors, co-workers, family members… There is no limit to the number of people you can refer! Simply print and fill out our Customer Referral Form, then give it to someone you know who would appreciate the convenient services and great rates at First IB. After the new account has been open for 90 days, First IB will deposit $10 to your account and $10 to the new account.
The new customer must meet First IB criteria for new accounts and must not have had an account with First IB before. We must receive the signed referral form with the account application. This offer applies to accounts opened on or after June 2, 2003. First IB reserves the right to discontinue the referral program at any time. "
