For many of us, saving money doesn’t come naturally. One way you can start building healthy savings habits is by setting a little bit of your hard-earned money aside from day one. Perhaps a 50/50 split of your birthday money, for example.
What you'll need
Checking account
Develop healthy daily spending habits with the variety of tools available through Simply Free Checking.
Certificates
Getting an early start on saving pays off in the long run. A certificate is a smart option and allows you to take advantage of a higher rate than you would typically find with a standard savings account – plus guaranteed earnings! Once you have a base savings, consider a certificate for any funds you don’t need immediate access to and be rewarded for keeping it on deposit for a set timeframe.
Online Banking and our mobile app1
Managing and monitoring your money couldn’t be easier. With free Online Banking and mobile app access, you can keep an eye on your accounts to create healthy money habits. Debit Card Controls allow you to turn your card off should it be lost or stolen, set spending limits, and set up real-time alerts to stay in tune with card activity.
