Fresh tips to grow your savings
As temperatures rise, flowers bloom, and the days grow longer, it’s the perfect time for a refresh. While you’re decluttering your home and deciding what still serves you, why not give your savings the same attention? Use these fresh tips to bring structure to your savings strategy and get the most out of every dollar.
1 Set clear goals and find your “why”
Define what you’re saving for—whether it’s an emergency fund, a dream vacation, or a new home. Having a clear purpose keeps you motivated and focused. Break your goal into smaller, manageable milestones so you can celebrate progress along the way.
2 Analyze your budget and spending
Track your expenses and identify areas to cut back. Use Money Management, available in Online Banking or our mobile app,¹ to connect all your accounts in one place, spot spending patterns, and set goals that help you stay on track.
3 Enroll in the Save & Win Challenge²
Our GECU Save & Win Challenge kicked off in January and will run through June 30th. Each month, GECU savings account holders enrolled in the challenge can win their share of over $10,000 in prizes just by saving! That’s because you’ll earn an entry for every $25 (net) saved. Each month, we’re awarding 14 winners with $100, and one grand prize winner with $500! Scan the QR code for the Official Rules or enroll at: gecreditunion.org/challenge
4 Automate your savings
Set up recurring automatic transfers from your checking account to your savings account. This “set-and-forget-it” approach ensures you’re consistently saving without thinking twice. Looking for another effortless way to save? Try Round-Up!³ Every time you use your GECU debit card, we’ll automatically round up your purchase to the nearest dollar and transfer the spare change to your savings account. We’ll also match—and you’ll earn—5% of your rounded-up funds, up to $350 per year! Just as it’s important to plant seeds in the right soil, make sure your money is in the right place to grow. A Thrive Money Market account allows you to earn interest on your balance, ensuring higher returns than you’d get from a traditional savings account. Don’t have one yet? Open yours online in minutes or schedule a Virtual Branch appointment for one-on-one guidance from a team member.

Entries do not roll over month-to-month. Visit: gecreditunion.org/challenge ³Round-Up: Round-Up is available with a General Electric Credit Union (GECU) Simply Free, Choice, or Amplified High-Yield Checking account and GECU savings or money market account. Upon enrollment in Round-Up and when using your GECU debit card (provided with your GECU checking account), we’ll round up each purchase to the nearest dollar and transfer the difference from your checking account to your GECU savings account of choice daily. The 5% savings boost match will be paid on the sum of rounded up transfers at month end with an annual match limit up to $350; match is reportable on IRS Form 1099. We may cancel or modify the Round-Up service at any time without prior notice. Round-Up is not available for business debit cards. 1
