Save First^® and Plan for Tomorrow

Taking charge of your financial future is as simple as taking up the habit—the savings habit, that is. When you pay yourself first, even small amounts add up in a hurry.

You can automatically fund your savings plan by using Direct Deposit. It is the painless, out-of-sight, out-of-mind way to save.

Here are some accounts we recommend to help start your savings habit:

* Money Market Savings Account requires a minimum balance of $2,500 to earn dividends.

Start Saving With Your Tax Refund:

• Fund a certificate, Individual Retirement Account (IRAs), Education Savings Account (ESAs), or a 529 college savings plan
• Start or add to your emergency fund (usually three to six months of income)
• Reduce debt

The IRS allows your refund to be split automatically between up to three accounts. To learn more visit irs.gov.
