Per research from Filipe Correia, an assistant professor at the University of Georgia Department of Finance, people who are paid earlier in the week are more likely to save more of their paychecks. This increase in spending also positively affects savings and borrowing.

Consistent saving in your Savings Account, even in small amounts, encourages repeat saving, reduces stress, and helps you stay on track for your goals.

Stay ahead of the curve and empower yourself financially by securing your payday earlier in the week!
