“With Savings Connect, our goal is to streamline the banking experience for our customers and promote consistent savings through seamless integration with our other banking products,” said Ravi Kumar<\/span>, head of CIT’s direct bank. “Digital convenience is a priority for Americans and is a big factor in helping build a habit of consistently saving.”<\/p>\n

Savings Connect offers higher than the national average APY on savings when customers make a qualifying electronic monthly deposit of $200<\/span> or more into the linked eChecking account. The competitive rate and ease of access helps customers grow their savings and build a consistent savings habit. <\/p>\n

According to a December 2020<\/span> survey from CIT Bank conducted by The Harris Poll, 52 percent of Americans surveyed reported that they are likely to start automatic monthly contributions to a savings account. In the same survey, 15 percent reported that they have already established automatic contributions to their savings account. <\/p>\n

“Regardless of an individual’s financial situation, it is important for them to make smart savings choices while working towards their financial goals,” continued Kumar. “This new digital account provides a convenient, straightforward and competitive platform to help consumers wherever they are in their financial journey.”<\/p>\n
