MURRIETA – Rabobank, N.A. launched a new program which automatically rewards customers for their everyday banking. Much like an airline or hotel loyalty program, Rabobank Rewards Banking customers automatically earn higher rates and free services, save with loan discounts and get money back.

"Rewards Banking is unique in that you qualify for benefits by how you actively use your account or by the traditional bank method – the size of your balance," said Keith Goff, regional president. "Basically, the more products and services you use or the more balances you maintain, the more rewards you automatically receive."

For example, customers can earn up to 0.20 percent extra on their CD and money market rates, save up to $750 off a mortgage appraisal, and receive reimbursements for overdraft fees and fees for using non-Rabobank ATMs.

Customers can qualify for rewards based on their everyday banking at Rabobank such Advertisement

"We’ve made it easier for customers to do most, if not all, of their banking with us and now we can reward them automatically for doing so," said Goff. "Because Rewards Banking is such a unique program in the banking industry, Rabobank has applied for a patent."

Rabobank also offers a free SwitchAgent service which greatly simplifies moving a customer’s checking account, including online bill payments and automatic debits, from their existing bank to Rabobank.

Rewards Banking is only available at Rabobank, with branches in Murrieta, Hemet and throughout California, and online at
