Savings Jar

The Easiest Way to Save Money? Automate It!

We understand that saving money can be challenging for many. It's easy to lose track and save less than intended when savings aren't automatic. Often, people save only what remains after covering living expenses and discretionary purchases.

Introducing Savings Jar

Savings Jar is a "transactions round-up" module that empowers our members to enhance their savings effortlessly. Here's how it works:

  • Members can select which checking accounts are linked to the program.
  • Debit card transactions are rounded up to the nearest dollar, with the difference tracked on the account.
  • Initially, members can deposit the rounded-up funds into a special savings account that earns a higher interest rate than our standard accounts.


Key Features:

  • Flexible Choices: Members start with higher interest savings and will soon have charitable options.
  • Seamless Integration: Effortless connection to checking accounts.
  • Comprehensive Tracking: Contributions are fully tracked—monthly, yearly, and from program inception.
  • User-Friendly Deployment: Easily accessible in our self-service channel.
  • Support for Members: Especially beneficial for those living paycheck to paycheck.
