Jax Federal Credit Union, a Jacksonville-based credit union that serves more than 39,000 members across Duval, Clay, Nassau, Baker and St. Johns Counties, announced it will once again participate in America Saves Week.
The national campaign runs Feb. 21-25, 2022. Jax Federal Credit Union has participated in this campaign every year since 2017.
America Saves Week is a national campaign coordinated by America Saves and its partners. The campaign started in 2007 and provides an opportunity for organizations to promote good savings behavior, encourage individuals to assess their own savings habits and inspire Americans to commit to saving successfully. This year’s theme is “Building Financial Resilience” in response to middle income and low-income Americans facing economic recovery from the pandemic in some manner. Understanding financial opportunities available, management strategies for saving, and community resources to support financial health are all factors of financial resilience.
Jax Federal Credit Union will celebrate America Saves Week at all seven of its Northeast Florida branches by waiving the $5 membership fee with a qualifying $5 deposit to establish a savings account.Additionally, the credit union will encourage members to explore products and services linked to daily themes throughout the week, such as:
- Tuesday, Feb. 22: Save for the unexpected with You-Name-It savings
- Wednesday, Feb. 23: Save to retire by contributing to an IRA
- Thursday, Feb. 26: Save by reducing debt with refinancing your auto loan or home mortgage as well as a Visa Balance Transfer
- Friday, Feb. 27: Save as a family with Teen accounts
Jax Federal Credit Union offers several savings account programs with low or no minimum balance requirements, including general savings, “You-Name-It” savings, holiday savings, youth savings and business savings. For more information, visit jaxfcu.org/america-saves/ and americasavesweek.org.
