When the clock struck midnight on New Year’s Eve, you made the resolution to take budgeting seriously.  All throughout the year you’ve been good about following your plan. Then the October is here and you’ve realized you forgot to budget for the holiday season!

What is a Holiday Club Account?
A Holiday Club Account is a type of savings account built specifically for setting aside money for the holiday season.  While these types of accounts are small, they are important because they encourage you to not only save for the holidays, but also build healthy savings habits in general. We know some people think of Holiday Club Accounts as old fashioned but we think they are smart.  Plus, with features such as direct deposit, you can be saving without even knowing!

How does a Holiday Club Account with WVFSL work?
All you need to open our Holiday Club Account is $10. Then, even if you just by deposit $10 every week beginning in November, you will save over $500 by next year!

What are the benefits of opening a Holiday Club Account?

  • Not having to juggle your budget to pay for gifts during the holiday season
  • Peace of mind knowing you have money set aside so you can enjoy the season
  • Avoiding racking up credit card debt that will haunt you when January arrives
