A checking account is more than just a way to fund the checks you write (if you still write them). It’s a central hub for most of your financial activity. Your debit card purchases, your online bill payments, your transfers — there’s a good chance that your checking account is doing a lot of heavy lifting.

But it can do more. Remarkably more.

Remarkable Checking from OCCU is a free checking account with no fees or minimum balance, unlimited ATM usage² and a great interest rate that lets you earn while you spend. 

To earn the most possible interest, all you have to do is meet a few simple requirements each month:

• Use your debit card 12 times. 
• Set up at least one direct deposit or auto-pay. 
• Sign up for eStatements. 

When it comes to your money, why should you settle for anything less than remarkable? Imagine the possibilities that could open up when you start earning more from your checking. Learn more about how you could benefit from opening a Remarkable Checking account today.

There is no one-size-fits-all strategy when it comes to budgeting. Some people follow the 50-30-20 rule. Some folks figure it out as they go along. Every person has a different needs, different wants and different incomes. But there are some basic tenets you’ll find most successful budgets follow.

• Don’t spend more than you make. (It sounds obvious, but....)
• Use a high-yield savings account to grow your money even faster.
• Allow yourself a little fun money.

When you’re ready to buckle down and budget, we’re here to help. If you’re just beginning your budgeting journey, start with the basics. Then, take all that money you’re saving and make it work for you with a high-yield savings account!

A certificate of deposit (CD) is a frequently overlooked money tool that can help you power up your savings and take full advantage of your interest-earning potential. If you’re new to saving, it might not be the first place to start. But once your savings account is humming along and you’ve got an emergency fund set aside, it might be time to consider diverting some of your cash into a CD to help fund your future.  

Since you get to choose the term length and how much you deposit, you can use CDs for a variety of savings goals. For example, you can:  

• Open a six-month or 12-month CD to save up for a vacation, home renovation or large purchase.  
• Use a five-year CD to save up for a major life event down the road, such as a wedding or a college fund for the kids.   
• Redirect extra funds from your savings into a CD with any term length to keep your money growing at max capacity.
