*The Smart Saver Reverse Tier Calculator is for illustrative purposes only and does not reflect the actual results of specific deposit amounts. Interest paid at tier rates on balances within each tier. Total interest paid is the sum from each tier. Blended APY†shown assumes the amount entered is in the account for one year. Withdrawing funds before one year will result in a different realized rate.

SAVINGS FAQs
It is never too early to teach your children the importance of savings. A People First PUTMA Account may be the perfect tool to educate your children on financial responsibility. With a PUTMA account you are in control of the funds.
Here is how it works: Your child is the account owner, and the account is opened with the child’s social security number, but a parent, grandparent, or other adult (18 years and older) is named as custodian.
