Round-Up

Let your daily spending make a big difference. Members now have the option to “Round-Up” their debit card transactions to the next dollar amount. The difference of every purchase you make is combined nightly and deposited from your Checking account to your Savings or Club account, or contributed towards Maine Credit Unions’ Campaign for Ending Hunger.

Once prompted, INCLUDE your Member Name in the email.

Round-Up

How It Works

 

We track each transaction made by members who have subscribed to the Round-Up 4 Charity or Round-Up 2 Savings programs.

 

We calculate the difference between each transaction and the next “rounded up” dollar amount.

 

The total is moved from the member’s checking account to either their Savings/Club account or to the Campaign for Ending Hunger contribution account.

Program Guidelines

  • There is no fee to participate in either Round-Up program option.
  • No matter how many debit card transactions take place in one day, only one transfer for the total rounded amount will take place.
  • The nightly transfer will never bring a checking account to a negative balance.
  • If the calculated transfer is greater than the balance in the checking account, the transfer will be for the balance in the checking account.
  • ATM transactions are NOT included.
  • If a debit transaction is subsequently canceled or reversed, the corresponding transfer will remain in the Savings or Charity account.
  • Round-Up 2 Savings transfers can be set up to go to a Savings or Club connected to the same account as the participation Checking account.
  • Each January, members will receive either an email or a letter from PCU that documents their total Round-Up Savings and/or Donations for the previous year.
