If you've been on the hunt for a straightforward cash bonus without jumping through hoops, this one's worth a look. Rakuten is currently offering $200 cash back when you open a One Cash account and make an initial deposit of at least $200. It's a simple deal: sign up through Rakuten, fund the account, and the bonus lands in your Rakuten account the next day. Plus, the One Cash account itself comes with some nice perks—no monthly fees, no minimum balance, and a debit card that earns cash back on select purchases. Let's break down what you need to know.
What's the Catch? Not Much, Actually
The requirements are refreshingly simple. You need to be a new One Cash customer—so if you've already had an account with them, this won't apply. Just click through from Rakuten (if you don't have a Rakuten account yet, you'll create one—and new members also get a sign-up bonus), open the One Cash account, and deposit $200 or more. That's it. No direct deposit requirement, no minimum balance to maintain for months. The $200 cash back shows up in your Rakuten account the very next day. You can then transfer it out or use it for future Rakuten purchases.
A Few Things to Keep in Mind
One Cash is a financial technology company, not a bank. Your banking services are provided by Coastal Community Bank, which is FDIC-insured, so your deposits are protected up to the standard limits. The debit card is issued by Coastal Community Bank under a Mastercard license. Also, the cash back bonus comes from Rakuten, not One—so if you have any issues with the bonus, you'd deal with Rakuten. One can modify or end the promotion at any time, so don't sit on this too long.
Beyond the Bonus: Account Perks
Even after you snag the $200, the One Cash account has some ongoing benefits. There are no monthly fees and no minimum balance requirements, which is great if you just want a simple account. You also get a debit card that earns cash back on select purchases—for example, there's a limited-time offer of 10% cash back on your first Walmart purchase (up to $200 spent) within your first month. And if you have $500+ in direct deposits per month or maintain a $5,000+ balance, you can earn 3% cash back at Walmart on up to $150 in spending each month. Not bad for a no-fee account.
Bottom Line
- New One Cash customers can earn $200 cash back via Rakuten with a $200+ deposit.
- No monthly fees, no minimum balance, and bonus posts next day to Rakuten.
- Limited time offer—act soon before it's pulled.
Common Questions
Do I need to keep the $200 deposit in the account for a certain time?
The terms don't specify a holding period for the bonus, but it's wise to keep the account open and funded for at least a few months to avoid any clawback.
Can I get the bonus if I already have a One Cash account?
No, this offer is for new One Cash customers only. One per customer.
How do I receive the $200 cash back?
The cash back is added to your Rakuten account the day after you complete the deposit. You can then withdraw it or use it for Rakuten purchases.
