To enroll in the SaveUp program, you must have a Fox Communities Credit Union (“Fox”) checking account with a Fox debit card. Savings will vary based on the number of purchases and purchase amounts made daily using your debit card. Each eligible debit card purchase will be calculated nightly with funds rounded to the nearest dollar and transferred from the checking account associated with your Fox debit card to the designated receiving account in one lump sum. For a transaction to round up, the checking account balance must be sufficient to process the transaction and transaction amount must not be a whole dollar amount. A round-up will not occur if the balance is zero, negative or becomes zero after the round-up transaction. Should a debit card transaction be reversed, the funds transferred to savings as part of this program will not be reversed. Fox may cancel or modify this service at any time without prior notice.
