Saving has never been so easy!! Every time you make a purchase with your Erie FCU Debit Card, the transaction will automatically be rounded up to the next full dollar amount with EZ Saver. At the end of each business day, the accumulated round-up amount from each of the transactions will be transferred from the checking account attached to your debit card to an EZ Saver Savings Account.
As an added benefit, we’ll match 5% of your daily round-up amount to your EZ Saver Account at the end of each month.

After the 30 day period, credit union will match 5% of the daily round up transfer amounts posted to the EZ Saver Savings Account. No minimum balance required. Withdrawals from your EZ Saver Account, before the end of the calendar month, will affect earnings. Annual Match limit is $300.
