“Reported working” means a reader received a bonus using that transfer. It does not override a bank’s rules or promise the same result. Open a walkthrough for dates and details.
You send money from a bank you already use to your new account. Start the transfer in the sending bank’s app.

How to send a push
Open your existing bank’s app or website. Find Transfers → External accounts or “Transfer to another bank.” Names vary by bank.
Add your new account using its routing and account numbers. Choose checking and link an account in your own name.
Complete account verification. If it uses tiny trial deposits, those verify the link; they are not your bonus deposits.
Choose From: your existing account → To: your new account. Select a standard ACH transfer and enter the required amount.
Send it early enough to arrive before the deadline. Check that it has posted, and repeat if the offer needs multiple deposits or monthly deposits.
Keep the required balance and account open until the bonus arrives. Track monthly fees and the date each task is due.
Why can a push trigger a bonus?
Paychecks and regular bank transfers both travel through the ACH network. Some bonus systems use the payment’s coding and sender information to decide what counts. A transfer can sometimes trigger the same system.
That is a possible explanation for successful reader reports, not a promise. A normal bank transfer is not a paycheck. Some offers exclude it; Navy Federal’s offer explicitly allows nonpayroll ACH deposits.
The simple approach: check the offer’s rules first, then look for a recent paid report from the same sending bank. A successful transfer at one bank does not prove it works at another.
