The Easy Way to Spend & Save


Here’s how it works: Every time you make a purchase using your Gulf Coast Educators debit card, your transaction amount is rounded up to the next dollar, and the difference is put into your new Dollar Up Savings account. In addition, that savings grows without any effort on your part at all, and at 2.99% APY*! Then at the end of the quarter, we’ll deposit the money into your primary savings to spend or save however you’d like. In other words, think of it as your virtual change jar!
dollar up example

Example: If you spend $3.50 on coffee, $8.13 on lunch, and $56.26 on gas during one day, at the end of the day $2.11 will be transferred from your checking account to your dollar up account.

In conclusion, if you spent that same amount every day, you could grow your savings to more than $60 in one month, and almost $200 in one quarter! Grow your pennies into dollars, and then into hundreds of dollars. All while earning 2.99% APY* on your savings.
