An Account Bundle Designed Exclusively for You
For decades, Dave Ramsey has helped his listeners take control of their finances with his life changing advice on The Ramsey Show. We've combined his smart money approach with our 75 years of experience in financial freedom to bring you a package of exclusive checking and savings accounts designed to help you manage your money — so your money doesn't manage you.
Your bundle will include:
Spend Smart Checking
Our Spend Smart Checking Account is a no-nonsense account with no monthly service charge, no minimum balance requirement, and no hidden fees. It’s all about helping you see your money clearly, keeping you on budget, and telling your money where to go instead of wondering where it went. Time to get smart about your money!
Get paid up to two days early with Direct Deposit1.
Easily send money to friends, family, and others you trust with Zelle®
Access to over 33,000 ATMs and 5,000 branches nationwide for free.
Incoming domestic wire fee is rebated.
Save Smart Savings
Saving money shouldn’t be complicated! With our Save Smart Savings Account, you’ll get a high-yield interest rate, making it easier for you to reach your goals. This account can help you save as you’re living like no one else, so later you can live and give like no one else!
Round up your debit card purchases to the nearest dollar and we'll automatically transfer the difference to your savings account.
No monthly service charge and no minimum balance requirement.
Your deposits are insured by NCUA.
Go Bold Debit Card
Have the freedom and control to access your cash whenever and wherever you need it, all while staying on track with your financial goals. With our Go Bold debit card, you'll receive access to over 33,000 ATMs for free and receive up to $10 in monthly refunds whenever accessing out-of-network ATMs. And — for when you need to go cashless — you can make purchases securely by adding your card to your mobile wallet or by using tap-to-pay.
The technology and convenience you expect.
Stay connected to your finances anytime, anywhere with a suite of technology services and features. From sending and receiving money with Zelle®3 to mobile check deposit, debit card management and account alerts — we simplify how you use your money online.
