Business ChangeUp Savings
Make every expense count.
Business ChangeUp Savings Account 101
With a Business ChangeUp account, every purchase you make with your Fortera Business debit card gets rounded up to the nearest dollar and the difference gets stashed away here for safekeeping.
Get a savings account that’s into multitasking.
Make moves for your business and grow your savings simultaneously. Picture this: it’s time to stock up on office supplies. The total comes to $143.28, but, when you pay with your Fortera Business debit card, that purchase rounds up to $144, and 72 cents are deposited into your ChangeUp account. So while you’re at it, might as well order yourself a snack. Future-you will thank past-you for the extra change.

No, members may only connect one business debit card and one business checking account (the business debit card and business checking account must be connected) to a Business ChangeUp Savings Account.
This account is designed to be automatic. Every purchase made with your debit card is rounded up to the nearest dollar and that extra change is then deposited into your Business ChangeUp Account. You cannot automate additional transfers to this account.
This account is the definition of accessible to everyone. It only takes one penny to open it. You heard us right!
To verify your identity, we always ask that you come prepared with a government-issued ID. It is important that it is not expired. Examples of acceptable IDs include a State Driver's License or a U.S or Foreign Passport. If we have trouble validating your ID, we may ask for a secondary ID. If you have a question about whether or not an ID can be used, just text us at 931.431.6800 or chat with us at forteracu.com. Please click here for full list of the documents you will need.
Dividends are extra money that your account earns just by being open and meeting our minimum account dividend earning value. The Business ChangeUp Savings Account earns dividends quarterly as long as your account has at least $0.01 deposited in it. You heard us right, that is a single cent. It is just another way we like to say thank you to our members for trusting us with your hard-earned "dough". To learn more about what the current dividend rate is and our other savings accounts that earn dividends, please see our Rate and Fee Disclosure.
To earn our high 2.00% Annual Percentage Yield (APY) on the first $2,000 in your ChangeUp savings account, members must keep their money in the ChangeUp account. Any transfers to a different account will not receive the high APY.
You do need to call us or come into a branch to open this account. We are working toward having easy online applications soon. In the meantime, please call us at 931.431.6800, email us at businessservices@forteracu.com, or schedule an appointment to open an account.
