Many Ohioans lack a savings safety net to help them cope with life’s unexpected events and expenses.

The SaveNOW program offers an easy, rewarding way to start building your savings today.

The Department of Economic Development recently created SaveNOW, a program that offers a 3.25% interest bonus on savings accounts for all Ohioans in addition to valuable financial materials.  Savers who open accounts at participating banks receive a 3.25% interest bonus on their average daily balance at the conclusion of the year, so long as they complete the financial education program offered by the Ohio Treasury.  SaveNOW is currently available in 61 of Ohio's 88 counties.



WHAT IS SaveNOW?

We partner with qualifying banks to offer Ohioans interest-earning savings accounts. When an applicant opens an account, they receive a year’s worth of financial education materials. A year later, they complete a financial literacy assessment and receive a bonus 3.25% percent interest on their account’s average daily balance.

OUR GOAL:

SaveNOW is about encouraging Ohioans to save a portion of their income, and rewarding them for doing it. Most importantly, it’s about increasing financial literacy by giving Ohioans access to relevant guidance and education.

HOW IT CAN HELP:

Now more than ever before, it’s important for Ohioans to have resources to fall back on when the unexpected happens—not only for their financial stability, but for our state’s financial health, too.
