ChangeUp Savings

Save every time you spend

Sometimes, it’s the little things that make a big difference. With ChangeUp Savings, you can save a little every time you spend. This free savings tool automatically rounds up your debit purchases to the next dollar and deposits the extra “change” right into your savings account. It’s a simple way to grow your savings without even thinking about it!

Here’s how it works: Let’s say you buy something for $9.75 with your Dupaco MoneyCard debit card. ChangeUp Savings will round it up to $10 and deposit the 25-cent difference into your savings.

It's automatic. It’s easy. And best of all, you’re in control. Simply log in to Shine Online or Mobile Banking and select the checking account you'd like to start round-ups from. Click “Actions,” and choose “Activate ChangeUp Savings” to get started. Pro tip: You can set up or stop this feature anytime!
