CINCINNATI—Fifth Third Bank, National Association, is proud to launch Fifth Third Momentum® Banking—a first of its kind, everyday banking solution. It combines the features and innovation of a digital-first bank with the security, reliability and local presence of a 163-year-old institution committed to the communities it serves. Fifth Third Momentum Banking1 is the industry-leading solution to help customers avoid and manage cash shortfalls, get paid and pay others, and reach savings goals, all while knowing their bank helps to protect their identity and finances. In addition, customers have thousands of professionals ready to help them achieve financial well-being.
“Fifth Third Momentum Banking is the latest leap forward in Fifth Third’s digital transformation, enabling customers to manage their finances day-in, day-out, and bank how they want, when they want and where they want,” said Tim Spence, president of Fifth Third Bank. “We’re giving customers the widest possible range of options to gain access to their money faster and avoid fees. When a customer elects to use a short-term liquidity product, it’s a lower cost and more sustainable way to cover a cash-flow shortfall than an overdraft fee.
Fifth Third Momentum customers will have one of the broadest range of options among all banks to get fast access to their money and address liquidity issues through:
- Early Pay – Free access to payroll up to two days early with direct deposit, rolling out across our retail footprint this summer.2

- Immediate Funds – Ability to receive instant availability for check deposits.5
- Extra Time® – Additional time to make a deposit and avoid overdraft fees, available in certain markets today6 and coming soon to our entire retail footprint.
Fifth Third Momentum Banking1 also provides a seamless digital experience and set of tools to help customers save for a vacation, a rainy-day fund or whatever goals they set for themselves.
