How, exactly, does Making Cents automated savings work?
Here's an example:
Gavin makes the purchases shown in the table below on a single day.
Each eligible debit card transaction is rounded up to the nearest whole dollar.
These rounded up amounts are added together, resulting in a total of $2.25.
That $2.25 is automatically transferred from Gavin’s Capital City Bank checking account to his designated secondary Capital City Bank deposit account.

Will Making Cents round up all of my debit card transactions, no matter if they are mobile pay, PIN or signature-based?
No. All accounts must be with Capital City Bank.
Some businesses don't "settle" their card transactions daily. How will this affect my Making Cents round-up savings?
The round up transactions occur each day after your card transactions have posted to your account. A card transaction posts to your account when the business settles their transactions. All businesses have 30 days to settle their transactions, so your card transactions do not always post to your account the same day you use your card.
What if I don't have enough money in my account to cover the round-up transfer?
The debit card transaction will post the same as always. The rounded-up portion will not take place. If there are pending transactions that have taken the account into the negative, then those transactions will not round up.
Can I round up my change into another checking account?
Yes, as long as the checking account is with Capital City Bank.
Are business accounts eligible?
I'd like to try Making Cents for a few weeks, but what if I decide it's not for me?
You can be unenrolled from the service or change your account selections easily by contacting your local banker or our Client Service Center. Later, if you decide you want to re-enroll, simply complete the enrollment form at ccbg.com/makingcents.
