Give your savings a boost with Change Jar
When you keep the change, reaching your savings goal is simple. Whether it was an old milk jug or pickle jar, we’ve all used a change jar as a place to put loose change for a rainy day. Over time, this change can really add up! That’s why we’re offering an automatic change jar tied directly to your checking account.
With our Change Jar savings program, everyday purchases on your OCCU debit card like groceries, coffee and dinners out can automatically add up to more money in your savings account.
Here's how it works
The Change Jar savings program is simple. Once you enroll in the program and use your debit card* to make everyday purchases, we’ll:
-
Round up your purchases to the nearest dollar amount.
-
Automatically transfer the difference of the day’s purchases from your checking account to your savings account.
EXAMPLE
Purchase Amount | Rounded up to | Transferred to savings |
---|---|---|
$1.99 | $2.00 | $0.01 |
$3.50 | $4.00 | $0.50 |
$28.00 | no rounding | $0.00 |
$67.03 | $68.00 | $0.97 |
Total Savings | $1.48 |
Getting started is easy. All you need is an active OCCU checking account, savings account and debit card. If you’d like to enroll in the program, give us a call, send a secure message in internet banking or stop by your local branch to start saving today.
