Saving for special occasions or future goals can sometimes feel overwhelming, but at Park View, we’re here to make it simple and stress-free! Whether you’re gearing up for the holidays, planning a dream vacation, or building a rainy-day fund, our Club Savings Accounts are designed to help you save throughout the year – automatically and with peace of mind. In this blog, we’ll explore how these specialized accounts work, how they help you stay on track, and why they’re the perfect savings tool for any occasion.
What Are Club Savings Accounts?
Club Savings Accounts are a unique savings account that allows you to set aside funds for specific occasions or goals. These accounts are perfect for those who want to save gradually and systematically without feeling a financial pinch all at once. The beauty of Park View’s Club Savings Accounts is their flexibility – members can open a Club Savings for virtually any purpose they desire, whether it’s for a once-in-a-lifetime trip, a new pet, college, or a wedding.
At Park View, we also offer specialty Club Savings Accounts tailored to specific needs, such as our Christmas Club Account and Car Club Account. These accounts are designed to help you plan ahead for big expenses and avoid the last-minute financial strain that can sometimes accompany these occasions. With our Club Savings Accounts, you’re in control of your savings goals, and you can customize your account to fit your life.
How Do Club Savings Accounts Work?
The beauty of Club Savings Accounts lies in their simplicity and automation. Here’s how they work:
- Open a Club Savings Account: Whether you’re using online banking or our mobile app, opening a Club Savings Account is easy. Simply head to the “More Services” tab in the menu. Select “Open a Share” and follow the prompts. If you’re interested in one of our specialty accounts (Christmas or Car), our friendly Park View representatives are available to assist you.
- Set Up Automatic Deposits: The key to successful saving is consistency, and with our Club Savings Accounts, you can automate the process. By setting up scheduled deposits, you’ll save regularly without even thinking about it. You decide how much and how often, making the process both convenient and customized to your needs. Scheduling transfers is simple through our online banking and mobile app. Whether transferring from your checking account or setting up automatic transfers each time you receive your payroll deposit, it’s all at your fingertips under the “Move Money” and “More Services” tabs.
- Watch Your Savings Grow: Over time, you’ll see your savings build effortlessly. Because the account is separate from your everyday checking or standard savings account, it helps reduce the temptation to dip into the funds for unplanned expenses.
