Financial Resources for Growing Families

We all want to bank better. But where do we start?

As a parent, your life is constantly moving in different directions. To keep up, you need a bank that can help you streamline life and make your everyday transactions an experience of joy. If you’re looking to simplify your household’s finances, be sure your bank offers these important features. 

Online Bill Payments 

Why juggle bills when you don’t have to? Between a mortgage, electricity bills and credit card payments, it’s easy for bills to get misplaced, or to forget a password. TBK Bank Online Bill Pay allows you to pay all your bills, all in one place. Payments can be sent electronically or via paper check, so you can pay even if the biller isn’t online — virtually eliminating the need for a checkbook. 

Free Online Transfers  

Because the unexpected can occur abruptly, it’s important that you’re able to move your money quickly, whether it’s a weekly allowance sent directly to a child or funds automatically transferred to a college savings account. With any TBK Bank Personal  Checking Account, (AIM, Everyday and Launch Checking)  you have access to these important features, and so much more. 

Balance Notifications 

Surprises are for birthday parties, not your personal finances. To help avoid potential overdraft fees, or the possibility of fraud, consider enrolling in balance notifications in your TBK Mobile App. Think of it like your personal finance watchdog, that allows you to easily customize the frequency and delivery method of your notifications.   

Consider Higher Interest Earning Accounts 

It’s never too early to set an example of financial well-being to your children. Exhibiting healthy saving practices early makes it easier for teenagers and young adults down the road. Savvy savers often put short-term savings in a different account, such as a Money Market Accounts, to eliminate the temptation of dipping into savings with everyday spending, plus you’re earning a higher interest rate than traditional savings accounts.  TBK Bank Money Market Accounts can also serve as overdraft protection, where you can designate funds to cover a balance shortfall.
