At Simple we always have your interest(s) in mind

Some things in life take a little longer to save for, but are no less important to feeling confident with your money. Whether you’re squirreling money away for an emergency fund, a wedding, or a college fund, a Savings Goal makes it easier. Everything you save lives close by in a separate account, so you won’t accidentally spend it.

Shared accounts are twice as nice

When you and your partner open a Shared Savings Goal, your financial superpowers combine and give you another chance to save toward your goals and earn up to 1.40% APY, together.
