Everything Finance

Last week, a rep for FNBO Direct contacted me regarding some new programs that are being offered. They are currently participating in America Saves Week. Here are the highlights.

FNBO Direct is urging consumers to review their 2009 spending and to create a 2010 savings strategy by using our Savings Finder Calculator ). We are then encouraging Americans to jumpstart their savings plans by setting up recurring or direct deposits to save a portion of each paycheck . Additionally, we suggest some of the following steps :

· Pay down debt by an extra $25 a month

· Set up an Emergency Account

· Set up a Medical Deductible Account

· Establish a Car Deductible Account

· Create a Vacation Account

· Open a College Savings Account

· Save Tax Refunds

· Open an FNBO Direct Online Savings Account, Bill Pay Account or CD at www.fnbodirect.com

To help facilitate saving, FNBO Direct also launched POPMoney, our Person to Person payment service (https://www.fnbodirect.com/popmoney/).

Need to split the check for lunch, throw in for the office party, or send a cash birthday gift? POPmoney™ is a simple, convenient and secure way to send and receive money using your FNBO Direct accounts.

• Send mobile and email payments directly from your FNBO Direct accounts.
• Received money? Deposit it into your FNBO Direct accounts.
• Free yourself from the hassle of check writing and bank visits.

Let me know if any of you try this out. I am curious to know how it works out.
