To qualify, you must:

• Purchase or enroll in the Shield Program for a Clover Compact, Clover Flex, or Clover Mini between August 25, 2025, and November 30, 2025.

• Keep the approved account in an open status and be actively accepting and settling card payments at the time the statement credit is issued.

Eligible customers will receive a $50 monthly DDA statement credit for up to six (6) months, totaling a maximum of $300. The promotional credit is based on total account fees and charges billed during the initial six (6) months following new account opening, excluding equipment, chargebacks, and adjustments for each respective month.

For example, a new merchant account opened and approved on September 15, 2025, will begin qualifying for credits after successfully onboarding and settling card payments.
