Social media makes it more difficult than ever to resist the temptation to spend your hard-earned money. Your feed is constantly bombarded with ads, influencers, and your friends’ lifestyles. Finding the motivation to save or knowing where to start can be a challenge, especially when you use your debit card to pay for purchases and aren’t seeing the money leave your wallet as you do with cash.
Honor has a solution called Debit Card Round Up to help you save as you pay with your debit card. Every transaction you make with your Honor debit card gets rounded up to the nearest dollar, and that spare change gets added to an account of your choosing. Many people add that money to a savings account. We highly recommend setting up the transfer to a Money Market Account to earn more interest.
How Debit Card Round Up Works
- Debit Card Round Up is free and available to any member with a checking account and an active debit card.
- With Debit Card Round Up, each debit card transaction is automatically rounded up to the nearest dollar and the change is deposited into an account of your choosing.
- Funds can be deposited into your main savings account, a money market, or create a separate savings account and watch those dimes and nickels add up!

Learn More About Debit Card Round Up
Set a Goal & Watch It Grow
When you put money in a separate account, you will see how quickly that change can add up, and with the right account, it will earn you more in interest. Utilizing a separate account for Debit Card Round Up keeps your funds tucked away, making it less likely for you to spend the money you are trying to save.
The great thing about Money Market accounts is that they are free and have no minimum balance requirements. Honor offers different types of Money Market accounts; choosing the right account depends on your situation.
If you are new at saving and will keep a lower balance, a Surge Money Market account is the best option for you. An Amplify Money Market account would be the best option if you already have a more substantial amount and a more significant savings goal, such as a down payment for a car or home.
