You’ve been told time and time again that saving is important.

“You need to save for college!” “Set money aside to save up for a car!” “Keep your eyes on the prize!” But how do you save for the future when the present is happening right now?

get rewarded for saving

When you become a Future Funder, not only do you get a Future Funders goodie bag, but you also get a stamp card. This card works just like a coffee shop stamp card, where you receive a stamp from one of our branch representatives each time you make a deposit of $25 or more into your savings account. Every eight stamps, we also deposit $25 into your savings to give an extra boost towards your future plans.
