Build My Rainy Day Fund

Make it easy with: Direct Deposit

Did you know that more than half American families do not have enough savings to cover a $500 emergency? Unexpected car repairs, medical bills or other expenses can be catastrophic if you’re not financially prepared.

It’s easier than you think to start building up your rainy day fund! The key is to save a little at a time and use Direct Deposit to keep your emergency savings separate so you’ll be less tempted to spend it on something else. Every time you get your paycheck, have a small amount deposited into a dedicated savings account If you save just $10 per week, by the end of the year you’ll have your $500.
