Saddle up for smarter saving

Remember tossing spare coins into a change jar at the end of the day? While the days of pocket change might be fading, the habit of saving it does not have to disappear. That is where Savings Jar, our round-up savings program, comes in.

Every time you make a purchase with your KTCCU debit card, we round it up to the next whole dollar and “corral” the extra change into a savings account of your choice. No matter what you are saving for — a new truck, a vacation, or just a little peace of mind — your spare change can help you get there, one roundup at a time.

How it Works

Next time you grab a coffee at your local coffee shop or fill up your tank at the corner station, tip your hat — not only are you supporting a local business, but you are growing your savings, too! The extra change from your purchase rides straight into your savings account without you having to think about it. It just makes CENTS!

Examples

Gas Gas $40.00 $41.00 $1.00
Groceries Groceries $172.06 $173.00 $0.94
  Total Saved: $2.57
