Liquid Asset Tips, Info & FAQs
A limited withdrawal savings account that pays a rate based on the Federal Funds rate
Want to save more? If you have funds elsewhere and don’t need immediate access to them, you can earn a higher dividend rate with our Liquid Asset account. To allow your savings to grow, even more, you may transfer funds from existing United Texas accounts in any amount when you deposit an equivalent amount of new funds into the account.
Ways to Boost Your Savings
With everything that’s going on in the current environment, it’s crucial that you keep your savings intact and growing.
It’s much better to be prepared for whatever the future holds. Therefore, you must take steps to protect and bolster your savings, which you can do in the following ways:
- Revisit your budget. Take time to review your budget or past account statements thoroughly to identify areas you can cut back. You don’t necessarily have to make dramatic changes – every little bit helps. For example, you may still be paying for subscriptions that you no longer use. Be sure to go through every expense and evaluate whether you need it or not.
- Automate your savings. The best way to keep your savings up is by constantly adding to it. Think of adding more money to your savings just as you would any other monthly bill. Then automate the process with payroll deduction or automatic transfers so that you never have to think about it.
- Consolidate credit card debt. If you currently have high-interest credit cards, consider consolidating them into one lower-rate credit card or personal loan. Doing so will help reduce the amount of money you’re spending on interest each month – freeing up extra funds to pay down more debt or add to your savings.
- Refinance your loans. Loan rates are steadily increasing. If you currently have loans financed elsewhere, consider refinancing them with us. By taking advantage of today’s interest rates, you’ll free up money that you can transfer into your savings each month.
Developing good saving strategies is essential to ensuring that your future is secure and worry-free. With a combination of cutting back on frivolous spending and considering options of lowering your current loan payments, you may be able to free up a significant amount of money, giving you a head start on your savings plan.
If you’re looking to automate your savings or would like to consolidate your debt or refinance your loans, we’re ready to help. Our financial experts will work with you one-on-one to find opportunities for you to save. Please stop by any of our convenient branch locations or call 1-800-531-8456 today.
