BUDGETING AND SAVING

How a little change can go a long way

When it comes to saving money, every little bit counts, including spare change. But instead of hunting through coat pockets and purses for loose coins, you can save effortlessly with Round Up with Flagstar®, a convenient, free perk that turns everyday purchases into savings.1

How does it work? Your Flagstar checking account comes with a Flagstar Visa® Debit Card.2 Every time you use your debit card to make a purchase, we’ll round the total up to the next dollar and put the difference into your Flagstar savings account.

For example:

Piggy bank with dollar sign Your takeout order totals $35.53, and you pay for it with your debit card.

Piggy bank with dollar sign We’ll round the total up to the next dollar ($36) and move the 47-cent difference over to your savings account.

 

Will Round Up with Flagstar make you rich overnight?

No, but a steady stream of change adds up faster than you might expect, which could lead to a pleasant surprise the next time you check your savings account balance. That little savings boost could inspire even more savings. Once you see how painless saving can be, you can set up regular automatic transfers from checking to savings.
 

Who should sign up for Round Up with Flagstar ?

Round Up with Flagstar is free, and you turn it on or off at any time, so anyone can try it. You'll need a Flagstar checking account and savings account to get started.
