How many savings accounts should I have?

That depends on YOU! How well you manage your money... and what you are saving for...are the determining factors in deciding how many accounts you should have at Coral Gables Federal. Separate accounts for each of your major needs is the easy, practical way to "budget for the future"...before the need occurs. First and most important is your Regular Savings Account, providing a general cash reserve for emergencies at any time...accumulating the down payment for a home of your own...assuring security and peace of mind for the years to come. But what about once-a-year expenses like taxes? They can take quite a "chunk" out of your regular savings...opening a Special Tax Account is a more realistic (and painless) way to meet this annual need. The same applies to Christmas and Vacation money...best handled through individual accounts. And for your children, of course, you want to do all you can to help them with their higher education...and the way to do it is through a Special College Savings Account. How else could you meet this future expense? So YOU decide how many savings accounts you need at Coral Gables Federal. Each account - Regular or Special - earns dividends at the current rate of 4% per annum, payable twice a year on December 31 and June 30. Accounts are insured up to $10,000 by a permanent agency of the U.S. Government. And each account enables you to "budget for the future"... whatever your needs may be.
