The Round-It-Up Feature helps members put money in their Savings Account for Effortless Savings! To enjoy the Round-It-Up Feature, you must establish a YES Checking Account with debit card access, online banking, and e-Statements at The County Federal Credit Union. When you add the Round-It-Up Feature, the amount of any debit card purchase you make using your CFCU debit card is rounded up to the nearest whole dollar. The difference between the purchase amount and the whole dollar amount will be transferred from your share draft account to your share account.**
*Up to $250 for closing costs will be provided on the settlement statement of mortgage closing.
**If the full rounded-up amount to be transferred is not available in the draft account at the time of the transaction/purchase, only the available amount will be transferred. If the share has a $0.00 balance or less, a transfer will not occur. Each day during the end-of-day processing, the aggregate rounded-up amount will be transferred into your share account. After you have chosen the Round-It-Up Feature, you can request that CFCU turn it off 30 days or more after account opening. The Round-It-Up feature will not be turned on again for at least six months after being turned off.
