Growing savings is one of those things that everyone wants to do better at. After all, it’s important for our future! Whether saving for a special purchase or just creating an emergency fund, many of us want to beef up our savings accounts but we lack to follow-through. Enter Plinqit!
Offered to our members free of charge, Plinqit is a savings platform that will help you save and pay you to learn about money. Based on your set goals, Plinqit will automatically pull money from your checking account and place it into savings. You don’t even have to think about it! This is not your childhood piggy bank. You set your goals and, if you know you’ll be tempted to pull that money out, set a penalty. But, reach your goal and get rewarded. Slide the scale based on your confidence; a bigger reward means a higher penalty, or keep it casual and just save, no reward or penalty needed.
When it comes to setting your goals, save for a tropical vacation, pay off debt, get a puppy, or invest in new designer shades. The sky is the limit! You can have up to five individual goals. Name them. Add images. Make it exciting! This is your future, after all.
You can choose to save in two ways. The first is to set a savings goal based on a regularly scheduled transfer. For example, you can choose to save each week, biweekly, or monthly for a set amount of time. The second option is to create a goal based on a particular amount. Enter the amount and the date you need it by and Plinqit will help you determine how much you’ll need to save in regular intervals. The best part is, Plinqit is out of sight, out of mind!
Plinqit is easy to use and you get rewarded for referring friends. But the rewards don’t stop there. Financial health is so important that Plinqit offers Build Skills™ which rewards you for learning more about your finances so you can be even more successful. Topics range from saving money and budgeting to adulting and buying a home. Thanks Plinqit!
Finally, we feel it’s important to share just how secure Plinqit is. Plinqit uses industry leading RSA 256-bit encryption technologies to ensure that your data is safe. Plus, your funds held by 4Front Credit Union, (which makes Plinqit available to you) are NCUA insured, giving you even fewer things to worry about.
So, what are you waiting for? Test your saving skills, learn more, and get rewarded. Get started here: Plinqit or find Plinqit under "Services" in your online banking portal. And when the time comes, treat yourself, because you earned it!
