The total rounded-up amount from all debit card transactions is transferred once per day.1

Note: Enrolling in the program will open a Round-Up Savings account to accompany your Reliant checking account. Visit any branch to enroll in the Round-Up Savings program.

It was a pleasure working with Reliant. In the midst of a pandemic crisis, the staff was upbeat, helpful and thorough in helping me secure a new account and credit card. At a time when there is much uncertainty and a lack of support in many aspects of our lives, I found the process at Reliant Credit Union and working with Melissa in particular to be easy and reassuring.
