Like SmartMoney, our new combination checking AND savings account that helps you simply and painlessly save for things on your wish list. Automatically. You don't have to remember to set aside money every month, or deal with the hassle of making another deposit. You set it all up when you create the account and then sit back and watch as your savings grows at 6.00% APY*. Out of sight, out of mind. And it doesn't tie your money up long-term. It's a no brainer. See it in action».

What's on your wish list? A debt-free holiday? A well-deserved vacation? A home improvement? Whatever you're wishing for in the next 12 months, having the money to pay for it needn't be wishful thinking. With this savings plan you get a great rate and it doesn't tie up your money long-term. By having funds automatically transferred from your checking to your savings each month for 12 months, it's a painless way to save.
You simply:
- Decide the amount you want to save up to $500 a month and $6,000 a year.
- Decide how often you'd like to contribute: weekly, bi-monthly or monthly.
- The amount is automatic transferred from your checking account into your savings account.
- You pick a cash-out date and we'll transfer your entire savings balance back to your checking account. Or, we can help you set up a longer-term savings program for bigger purchases.
Whether you want to save for a beach vacation next winter, a plasma TV to watch the big games, or the ultimate bathroom remodel a SmartMoney account is just plain smart and makes other mere checking accounts pale by comparison.
So...simplify your life. Manage your money. Save for your wish list. And enjoy the rewards.
It's a simple, smart, worry-free way to save throughout the year. The sooner you start, the sooner you can make your wishes come true!
