A service that helps you automatically save money.
1. How would you like to save money? Choose A or B. Option A: We’ll round up each debit card purchase to the nearest dollar and transfer the change at the end of the day from your checking to a different deposit account; most likely your savings.
You will need a Decorah Bank or Cresco Bank debit card, checking account or a savings account.
Then use your debit card for everyday purchases, such as the grocery store, or to buy fuel. Spend like you normally would. Tip, you can use your debit card for online purchases too. Option B: No debit card? No problem. You can set your Save the Change service to round down the change from your checking account balance and transfer the change to another account at the end of each day. You pick whether you want to transfer the change to another Decorah Bank or Cresco Bank checking account or savings account. You will need a Decorah Bank or Cresco Bank checking account or a savings account. 2. Enroll. Contact a personal banker and ask them to set up your Save the Change service.
