Intracoastal Bank Educates During America Saves Week

PALM COAST, Fla. - Feb. 24, 2015 - PRLog -- As part of America Saves Week 2015, that runs February 23 – February 28, Intracoastal Bank is spreading the saving message, and urging the community to participate in America Saves Week.

“Only 51% of American’s have a savings plan with goals,” said Bruce Page, President/CEO of Intracoastal Bank. “The opportunity to educate the public during this week on how to create a savings plan and save automatically is another way Intracoastal Bank reaches out to help our community,” he added.

Intracoastal Bank offers automatic savings plans, and encourages saving in several ways, including educational videos on their website at http://www.intracoastalbank.net/. Clicking on the Consumer Education tab on the left hand side will take them to a range of slide shows, one of them teaches that financial experts suggest saving 10% of your gross income each month. Another idea is to have money automatically debited from your paycheck so it’s never ‘touched’ or seen before deposited into a savings account.

America Saves Week is coordinated by America Saves and the America Savings Education Council.  The Week is an annual opportunity for organizations to promote good savings behavior and a chance for individuals to assess their own saving status.
