Helping employees build savings is one of the most practical ways a company can support financial well-being.

At Cutting Edge, we do this by offering simple tools like club accounts and add-on CDs that make saving automatic and intentional. Club accounts allow your employees to set aside small, regular amounts for specific goals, while add-on CDs let them grow savings safely over time with competitive returns. Both options are ideal for building a rainy day or emergency fund that can cover unexpected expenses without relying on credit.

Having even a modest emergency fund reduces stress, improves focus at work, and helps employees feel more in control of their finances. Our team supports this process every step of the way, and all of our staff are certified financial counselors trained to meet people where they are. They can help your employees choose the right savings option, set realistic goals, and stay consistent. To make saving feel tangible and fun, like this gumball machine that acts like a modern-day piggy bank.

Like dropping a coin into a piggy bank, each deposit into a club account or add-on CD is a small action that adds up over time. Together, the savings tools, expert guidance, and gumball machine reminder reinforce one simple message: preparing for a rainy day starts with one small step, or one gumball at a time.
