In addition to your checking account, sub-savings accounts are extensions of your savings account that allow you to easily set aside money for specific long-term purposes. Be prepared for upcoming expenses by setting up automatic transfers into your sub-accounts so they grow over time. You can set up as many sub-accounts as you need, name them according to your savings goal, and watch your money grow. When that bill comes due, simply transfer the money from that sub-account to your checking account and pay the bill.
Set up sub-accounts for “Vacation Savings”, “Car Repairs”, “Property Taxes”, “Home Repairs”, “Income Taxes”, “Insurance Premiums”, and much more.
Get the most out of your Spending and Savings Accounts with ASCU Savings Sub-Accounts. Just come into a branch and ask us to set them up.
No time to come in? Just chat with us and we’ll set them up. Login to online banking and click the chat icon to get started.
