Nacha Celebrates America Saves Week; Recommends Split Deposit to Increase Savings
HERNDON, Va. (PRWEB) February 18, 2020 -- Nacha understands that you don’t have to look far to find proof that many Americans aren’t saving enough. It’s why Nacha supports America Saves Week, which this year is Feb. 24-29, and encourages employees to enroll in Split Deposit to #SplitToSave — a helpful tool to automatically grow savings.
“One of the many advantages of Split Deposit is how easy it is. It puts saving on autopilot,” said Jane Larimer, Nacha President and CEO. “Everyone needs to have a nest egg, and Split Deposit helps make it happen. Even just a few dollars at a time adds up.”
America Saves Week annually features daily themes to encourage different – yet equally effective – ways to save. This year, Nacha is focused on Monday, Feb. 24, which highlights how saving automatically can be easily done through Split Deposit.
Split Deposit is just as it sounds: each payday, you automatically split your Direct Deposit between two or more accounts. For example, you can choose either a dollar amount or percentage of your pay to go into a savings or retirement account, with the rest sent to checking. Even automatically saving just $10 or 1% of your salary adds up over time.
“America Saves Week promotes the importance and effectiveness of saving automatically, and Split Deposit is an efficient way to save for a secure financial future,” said George Barany, Director of America Saves, a national campaign managed by the nonprofit Consumer Federation of America.
