Add Up
Each time you make a debit card purchase, we calculate the amount needed to round the purchase up to the nearest dollar and transfer that amount from your checking account to savings.
Order Checks
Ordering checks online from Harland Clarke, our preferred provider, is as safe and secure as ordering them in person or over the phone.
Disclosures
1 Pending application approval. Discount applies with automatic payment from your BankWest checking account.
