Savings Account FAQs

Is a Savings Account Worth it?

Yes, starting a savings account is always worth it. Whether you’re saving for a special purchase, such as a new car, a bicycle, a computer, or home renovations, it all starts with savings.

While charging large purchases on a credit card is always an option, it’s financially savvy to maintain a savings account, in case of emergencies or to pay for large purchases.

Having a savings account provides a secure place to deposit monthly checks you receive, and your savings account could even earn interest as you save toward your goal.

How Much Money Should I Keep in Savings?

Things to consider include whether the account pays interest. If you have an interest-bearing savings account, then keeping larger balances will earn you more in monthly interest dividends.

Financial advisors typically recommend keeping an amount of money equal to six-months of expenses, so if you become unemployed you, have an emergency fund from which to pay your monthly bills.

What Can I Do with My Savings?
