How to open a savings account
It made me
Happy
 "Empowering, exciting, and like I'm onto a great thing!"
How I did it: Ok, so it took me a looooooooooong time, but that's because for a long time, I wasn't earning enough. Lessons & tips: Use money comparison sites like moneysupermarket.com to get the best rate and account for you. |

How I did it: After getting my state and federal tax returns back, I headed to the bank to open a savings account. It was great to be able to take a portion of the money I have been saving and open a high-yield savings account. Read how I did it…

How I did it: After deciding on an online savings account versus a brick and mortar institution, I spent a few hours researching the major financial institutions that offer online savings accounts, spread out over the course of the month to watch the activities of the main players. There are many options to choose from although the main ones seem to be extremely similar. I opted for a well-known company that allows sub-accounts within the s… Read how I did it…
Jadelildancer is thinking that I could really do with completing some of these goals
How I did it: It took me about 4 months to actually apply, as I couldn't decide whether to use the 16+ account or 18+ account (if I had chosen the 18+ account it would have meant just 3 more months wait for a better interest rate). In the end I chose an eISA account, which was 16+ and ended up having the best interest rate anyway. I have chosen to put by £50 a month, I did all this on the internet to make it quicker. Read how I did it…
How I did it: I just walked into my bank and asked them if I could open a savings account, and then they just signed me up for one. It wasn't hard. There is not much more to it than just going to the bank. You have to make sure if there is a monthly min. that you keep that amount in the bank. Read how I did it…
How I did it: I was at the bank depositing a check anyway and just asked. It was quick and painless. I had to have at least $50 to start it with and I was even able to set up a recurring transfer from my checking account into the savings account. So I'll be making an automatic deposit into the savings from checking each month.I chose one with a lower interest rate because I was able to make as many withdrawals a month as I wanted whereas I had limited … Read how I did it…
Libbybuttons I had more things written down, but I forgot them... :o
Everyone needs savings, I know. Unfortunately, I’ve never been able to do it, because frankly, I wasn’t earning enough money to pay the bills, let alone save too.
But last month my contracted hours went up, and if I can stick to my budgets (see other goals!) then I can afford to start putting a little aside every month
First thing’s first…open a savings account!

It’s true, everyone needs to save money. I need to do this more than ever. I want $500 in an account, linked to my checking account. I’m sick of overdrafting my account. I’m quite positive I have paid the salaries of at least half of my banks employees just in fees in the past year! NO MORE!!!

I’ve always just had a “spending account” – I’ve never actually worked on saving my money. I’m going to use the money I get from my tax returns to open a savings account, and try to add to it from each paycheck (even if it’s only a little at a time).
Topshop_Princess My thoughts got rude,as you talked&Chewed,on the last of your pix&mix
yay!! Actually went to the bank today!
Just got to sort out some details and it will be up & running
Wahooo
Note to self; Ring the bank.
littlemissfickle2 is getting back to herself (and 43 things)
as soon as I complete the ‘get a job’ goal. right now I have absolutely no money, so there’s no way I can save anything.. ;P
I still haven’t worked out how much I can afford to put in the savings account regularly, but I opened it with $500. I think the minimum I could put in is $100 a month. I need to send in a copy of a bill and a copy of my ID to the bank and it’ll be ready to go.
theloveismultiple feh.
anyways.
ING. =]
First I had to move up to arkansas and open a checking account, so that took me some time. Then I had to lollygag for awhile. And then I did ACTUALLY DID open it, but I forgot my PIN, which I needed to verify my account. So I basically let it set there for a good two whole months.
light bulb, figured out my PIN.
HAHA.
i made 5 cents in two months, awesomecakes.
questionablemushroom just paid off her credit card!!
As a college student, I have been in debt and living paycheck to paycheck for three years. I finally paid off my credit card, and I have gotten a grant to cover this year’s tuition (less debt for graduation! yay) I finally have a little saved up, and after paying expensive San Francisco rent, I want to start saving up so I can move into a nicer place, and have a cushion in case I become unemployed… that kind of stuff.
finally got my lazy arse to the bank :)
i opened up a savings account & inputted 200 bucks, changed my chequing account to a student value account (this means no monthly fees & that i will NOT go nuts on transactions).
i also made sure that some $ will be taken automatically out of every paycheck & placed into my savings. ‘tis only a start, but i’m excited that i’m finally taking some action!
