New Round Up Savings Program Helps You Save Effortlessly

First Alliance Credit Union is excited to announce the launch of its new Round Up Savings program, this innovative service is designed to help credit union members build their savings effortlessly, one debit card swipe at a time. With this program, every purchase made with a First Alliance debit card is rounded up to the nearest dollar amount, and the difference is automatically transferred from the member’s checking account in to their savings or money market account.

Kristina Kovacevic, AVP of Retail Experience at First Alliance Credit Union, shared her excitement about the program: “Saving money doesn’t have to be hard work. The Round Up Savings program makes it easy to build your savings while still enjoying life. Whether you’re saving for a rainy day or a bigger goal, this program does the work for you. Every time you swipe your debit card; you’re moving closer to achieving your financial goals!”

Here's an example of how the Round Up Savings program functions: Suppose your morning coffee costs $6.10; the transaction will be rounded up to $7.00. The extra $0.90 is immediately transferred to your First Alliance savings account. Participants in the pilot program for Round Up Savings typically saved an extra $30 each month.
