Life moves fast. So fast that you’ve likely already spent about ten seconds reading to this point. What could you have done in that same amount of time? The answer is A LOT if you’re putting our various digital banking tools to work for you. Managing your money should be quick, convenient, and secure.
There are countless tools available today to help make managing your money easier. But few offer the same level of convenience and reliability as direct deposit. Your paycheck shows up automatically – whether you’re rolling out of bed for work or relaxing on a well-deserved vacation.
Longer days, more sunshine, and warmer weather make summer a great time to bring in some extra cash through a side hustle. Whether you’re saving for a trip, tackling debt, or building your rainy-day fund, seasonal gigs and flexible income opportunities can help you meet your goals without giving up all the fun.
Digital wallets allow users to securely store their debit and credit cards directly in their smart devices, making transactions effortless. Rather than rummaging through a bulky wallet or bag, you can simply tap your smartphone or smartwatch to complete purchases in seconds.
Losing your debit or credit card used to mean days of waiting. No swiping, tapping, or spending until a replacement card arrived in the mail or you took a trip to the branch to have a new one printed. Fortunately, those days are behind you! A smarter solution has rolled out: digital card issuance.
With so much of our personal and professional lives conducted online, ensuring that our sensitive data remains secure is crucial. From shopping online to accessing medical records and completing job applications, we’re putting more of our lives online than we likely realize.
The countdown to summer fun is on, and that means it’s almost time for backyard barbecues, pool days, beach trips, and more. But before you load up the car or hop on a flight, take time to organize your finances to avoid missed payments, addedstress, and other pesky practices that can dampen your vacation vibes.
Have you ever wondered how the way you bank impacts the environment? It’s likely a topic that has flown under your radar. However, there are many simple, yet effective money moves you can incorporate into your daily life that will help Mother Nature and make managing your money easier.
Just when you thought payments couldn’t get any faster with apps like Zelle or Venmo, a new system is about to change the game. FedNow®, the Federal Reserve’s instant payment network, lets credit unions and banks move money in real-time, 24/7. Unlike peer-to-peer apps, it works behind the scenes, allowing businesses and individuals to send and receive payments instantly - no waiting, no delays.
Spring is the perfect time for a fresh start – not just for your home but for your finances, too! Just like you declutter your closet or deep-clean your living space, your savings could use a little tidying up. A little organization now can help you streamline your savings, earn more, and set yourself up for a stronger future.
