Boost! Round-Up Savings Program
Introducing Boost!
Remember the good ol' days of throwing your loose change into a jar at the end of each day? Watching it slowly fill up was a simple joy, a tangible measure of saving bit by bit. We've taken that concept to the next level! No matter your goal - be it securing a down payment, planning for retirement, or jet-setting on a dream getaway - everyone can benefit from saving just a little more each day.
Save while you spend!
Discover the convenience of automatic savings with our Boost! program. By using your totalREWARDS Debit Card for everyday purchases, we'll automatically round up to the nearest dollar and transfer the change directly to your savings account. Start growing your savings effortlessly today!
Get StartedHere's how it works:
Each time you make a purchase using your totalREWARDS debit card, your transaction amount is rounded up to the next dollar, and the difference is put into your savings account. It's as easy as 1, 2, 3.
