Ok! So I bet you’ve been hard at work following all the tips we’ve shared over the past few months, haven’t you?
But now that you’re on your feet, you might be thinking: Now that I have some savings, how do I know I’m getting a good deal on my accounts? Is my financial partner a good one?
Picking a new bank or credit union doesn’t have to be scary! Just follow these tips.
Don’t Get Fee Syndrome: Wherever you go, you should know you’re getting a good deal! That means finding a place that doesn’t charge you an arm and a leg. Look for free accounts – they’re still out there!
Don’t Get Lost In The Crowd: Sure, the biggest banks might seem like they’re everywhere. But will they really care about you? Look at local institutions. They’re more likely to be able to be focused on you as a person.
Find The Right Fit: Have a lot of savings? Look for a good dividend rate or CD that helps you earn more. Use a debit card a lot? Find an account that gives you deals on debit card transactions. See, with the right account, everyone can be happy!
And remember – the mint makes it first. It’s up to us to make it last.
