ACFCU-Earns-Savings-Excellence-Award

America Saves believes when people align their savings habits with what truly matters—family, financial security, and future goals—they build a strong foundation for lasting financial well-being. This year, the America Saves Week 2026 theme, Own Your Financial Story: Small Steps, Big Impact, inspired millions to do just that. In partnership with thousands of organizations nationwide, America Saves encouraged individuals and families to pause, reflect on their unique savings goals, and take simple, meaningful steps toward a more secure financial future. These steps included opening new savings accounts, adding to emergency funds, and setting up or increasing automatic deposits.

America Saves Week 2026, held April 6–10, brought together an impressive 5,300 individuals representing participating organizations — including banks and credit unions, government agencies, schools, nonprofits, financial professionals, influencers, and community groups. During the week, over $169 million was saved in new and existing accounts. 4,825 new savings accounts were opened with automatic deposits and 20,850 individuals increased their automatic savings transfers or deposits into already existing accounts. Even during financially tight times, Americans are taking action to strengthen their financial resilience. America Saves is proud to stand alongside savers, especially those who are financially vulnerable, providing the tools, support, and confidence they need to save successfully, reduce debt, and build wealth for the future.
