LITTLE ROCK, Ark., April 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Simmons Bank announced today its automatic savings program, Round-Up, allowed more than 25,000 customers to save more than $5.9 million during 2025. As households across the country focus on building stronger financial habits during America Saves Week, the program highlights how small, consistent actions can lead to meaningful savings over time.

This feature rounds up debit purchases to the nearest dollar and transfers the difference to a second account of the customer's choice, making it effortless to build an emergency fund.

According to the Federal Reserve's recent Survey on Household Economics and Decision Making, roughly one in three Americans have no emergency savings, and only 41-43 percent can cover a $1,000 emergency expense with savings.

"The Simmons Bank Round‑Up savings program removes the friction from saving by automating the process," said Joshua Jensen, chief deposit officer at Simmons Bank. "By rounding up debit card purchases and directing the difference into savings, customers can steadily build funds for unexpected expenses or long‑term financial goals without changing their routine."

Established in 2014, the Simmons Bank Round-Up program is designed to reduce the effort needed to save by automating the process when customers use their debit card to conduct a purchase. During America Saves Week, Simmons Bank encourages customers to take small steps, like enrolling in Round-Up, to create lasting financial security.
