Sometimes, the small stuff really does add up. With ChangeUp Savings, every debit purchase is rounded up to the next dollar, and the extra change is automatically moved into your savings account. It’s an easy, automatic way to save a little without thinking about it. You can turn it on or off anytime in Shine Online or Mobile Banking. Just log in, choose your checking account and click Actions to Activate ChangeUp Savings.

OVERDRAFT SERVICES

Mistakes happen. We’ve got your back.

Ever have a day when money doesn’t stretch as far as you hoped? If your Dupaco checking account falls short, our overdraft services can help keep payments moving. Overdraft Protection automatically transfers funds from a linked Dupaco savings, checking or money market account at no extra cost. If there’s not enough available, Overdraft Privilege can temporarily cover eligible transactions, though fees* may apply. To enroll or adjust your coverage, call 800-373-7600, email service@dupaco.com or send us a message in Shine Online or Mobile Banking. Have questions? You’ll find answers below.
