Here's how it works.

  1. Determine the amount you want to save per pay period.

  2. We’ll help you set up your savings through:

    • Direct deposit from your payroll
    • Transfer from another account
    • Mail or in person deposits

    …or however it’s most convenient for you!

It’s that easy!

Your New Savings Plan

Customize a savings plan tailored to your specific needs. 
Here are a few ideas, illustrating your potential savings after 44 weeks of regular deposits:

  • $25 per week = $1,100 plus dividends
  • $50 per week = $2,200 plus dividends
  • $100 per week = $4,400 plus dividends

Consider saving 10% of your paychecks.
Let’s say 10% of your income is $500 per month. After ten months plus dividends, you’d have more than $5,000 in your Summer Savers!

Sounds like a healthy start to your summer vacation, right?

  • Your Debit Card for Daily Spending

    Why debit beats cash, checks, and credit! Accounting for nearly a third of all consumer transactions in the US, debit cards are used more than cash, checks, and credit cards. That shouldn't come as a surprise, though. While they've been popular for decades, debit cards have advanced with technology to make transactions faster, more secure, and easier to track.
