Saving money is easy with our NEW Change Cup Savings Program! With Change Cup, all purchases made with your debit card will be rounded up, with the difference being deposited in the savings account of your choice. For instance, if you make a purchase for $2.50, Change Cup will round up the total and 50¢ will be transferred into savings. Change Cup is an easy way to effortlessly build your savings, whether it be for an emergency savings account, a vacation fund or Christmas Club. If you are interested in enrolling in this program or would like more details on how it works, stop by or give us a call.
