Keep the Change...

Brian and I have been customers at Bank of America since moving to Atlanta in 2005, and I must say that I'm not a big fan of Bank of America for one major reason: their hours are 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. That means, my dear readers, that when I need to go to the bank, I must do so during working hours. That also means that, on the days I need to go to the bank, I have to spend my beloved lunch break at the bank. Awesome. NOT! Yeah, I said it.

There is one feature of being a Bank of America customer that I do like: Keep the Change. Every time Brian and I use our debit card, the transaction gets rounded up to the nearest dollar. So, if I spend $1.01, I really spent $2 because the bank will put the 99¢ into my savings account. Does that make for a messy check register, yes. But there is a big advantage to using the Keep the Change program at Bank of America: they will match 5% of your savings and add it to your account. We are getting paid to use the Keep the Change program. Check it out...

We have been part of the Keep the Change program since 2008! That's a lot of savings in less than 2 years...just for using our debit card!
