What is Saving Cents?

Saving Cents is an automated service that rounds up each checking account purchase* to the next whole dollar amount. At the end of the day, the “change” from all your purchases is directly transferred from your checking account to a designated sub savings account. The special Saving Cents account earns a higher interest rate than a regular savings account.

*Eligible transactions include: debit card purchases, ACH’s, drafts, and bill payments.

For example, if you make a purchase for $25.45 one day, $0.55 would be automatically transferred to your Saving Cents account at the end of the business day. 

How it Works

 Your Purchase Price  Rounded Up To Amount to Savings 
 Snack  $2.80  $3.00  $0.20
Gasoline  $33.30  $34.00  $0.70 
Groceries  $45.02  $46.00  $0.98 
     Total Transfer to Savings=  $1.88
