Choose a photo.
It’s important to visualize and keep that goal top of mind. Browse the photo library and choose a picture that represents your goal.
Enter the amount you’ll need.
Whatever you’re saving for, set the amount of money you’ll need to save to meet that goal.
Set up automatic transfers.
Create an automatic transfer from your spending account to routinely add money to your goal. Or save according to your own schedule and make deposits manually.

Build your financial safety net.
According to financial studies, fewer than 40% of Americans said they could afford a $1,000 emergency. That’s why for many, establishing an emergency fund is the first step towards financial stability. Experts recommend having 3 to 6 months of expenses saved for emergencies. It might seem impossible until you get started. Every penny saved gets you closer.
