I made the switch to Heritage Federal Credit Union not too long ago, and it was totally worth it!

Ever since making the switch from my old bank to Heritage Federal Credit Union, I have saved some money and even made some money at the same time. I took advantage of their "Flip-A-Loan" program on my truck by moving my auto loan to HFCU. Doing this not only decreased my monthly loan amount, but I am also getting 1 percent* cash back.

Speaking of getting cash back, I also signed up for their Kasasa Cash Back® checking account. Kasasa Cash Back is a free checking that pays you 2.5 percent* cash back on debit card purchases every month! There are other great perks with this program, too, including refunds on your ATM withdrawal fees, nationwide. There are several other Kasasa Checking accounts that they offer that you might want to look into.

Then I found out about HFCU Spare Change. This one is really cool. Essentially, they round up every debit card purchase to the nearest dollar amount and the difference is transferred into a designated savings account. It's money that you won't really notice leaving your checking account, and it's an easy way to save money for a rainy day. I love seeing the amount of money in my savings account go up each day. You can even sign up online!

Making the switch to HFCU has been one of the best financial decisions that I have made. If you are looking to save some money and even make some in the process, find out what HFCU can do for you by stopping by your local branch or visiting their website.
