Debit Roundup

This feature is meant to help you reach your savings goals! Debit Roundup automatically rounds up debit purchases to the next whole dollar and deposits the roundup amount to Duo Savings at the end of each day to earn dividends.

  • For example, a purchase for $4.70 is rounded to $5.00 and $0.30 is deposited to Duo Savings.
  • Purchases made using your debit card, digital wallet, or debit card number are rounded up.
  • Debit Roundup is enabled by default but can be turned off on request.
  • If Debit Roundup would overdraw your account, the roundup is cancelled.

When are Debit Roundup funds transferred to a Save & Spend Duo Savings account?

Roundup transactions will occur at the end of each day. The roundup transaction will include the sum of the rounded up amounts for debit purchases that were posted to the enrolled account that day.

What types of debit transactions are eligible for the Debit Roundup feature?

To qualify, transactions must be a purchase, not an ATM withdrawal or a credit/return transaction. As long as transactions are purchases, both debit (or PIN) transactions and credit transactions are included in Debit Roundup. Transactions made using your debit card number online and via a digital wallet are also included in the Debit Roundup feature.
