SaveNOW proves that savings pays off. Many Ohioans lack a savings safety net for life's unexpected events and expenses. The SaveNOW program is an easy, rewarding way to start building your savings and gain financial education.

save now brochurefrequently asked questionsWhat is SaveNOW?

SaveNOW is a higher interest savings account, which rewards savers with a 3% interest rate bonus.  The Ohio Treasury partners with participating banks to offer Ohioans interest-earning savings accounts. Each applicant who opens a SaveNOW account receives a welcome letter from the Ohio Treasury and three financial education newsletters during a 12-month period.  Ten months after opening an account, the participant will receive a financial literacy assessment survey. The survey must be completed in order to receive the bonus. The saver will receive a 3% interest rate bonus on the account’s average daily balance, approximately in the 13th month from opening an account.

SaveNOW has savers in 76 out of 88 counties throughout Ohio. Start today, don’t delay, To enroll in SaveNOW, please complete an application and open a SaveNOW savings account at one of our participating banks (see the list below).

SaveNOW encourages Ohioans to save a portion of their income, and then rewards them for doing it. More importantly the program increases financial literacy by giving Ohioans access to relevant guidance and education.

How SaveNOW can help

It is important for Ohioans to have resources when the unexpected happens. Having a savings safety net improves their financial security and bolsters the state’s financial health.
