Planters First Bank is a proud participant in America Saves Week, an annual national campaign that encourages and empowers individuals, families, employers, and communities to check in on their finances.
The campaign focuses on several important topics that make up your financial landscape with a realistic economic approach, including saving for emergencies and unexpected expenses, leveraging automatic savings, retirement, and reducing debt. It also covers more niche topics like talking to your family about money, understanding your employer's financial well-being benefits, and the mental and emotional effects of financial stress.
The 2025 theme for the campaign is “Saving for Your Past, Present, and Future,” and takes place from April 7th through the 11th. Check out these resources for America Saves Week:

With many Americans still feeling the pressure of inflation, rising costs, and higher interest rates, this conversation couldn’t come at a better time. Planters First Bank is committed to supporting our community with practical tools and guidance to build stronger financial futures. Throughout the week, we’ve shared free, helpful resources on our Online Security Center—designed to empower individuals and families to become more financially resilient.
How can Planters First Bank help you save? Local saver Ryan shared, “Planters First Bank’s participation in America Saves Week really shows how dedicated they are to supporting both their staff and the community. They helped me set up a new Planters Roundup Saving Account so I can save automatically, and it’s truly wonderful to think about how my family will be better prepared with our savings when the next emergency arises.”
AMERICA SAVES WEEK 2025
The annual campaign focuses on increasing Americans’ financial confidence through getting a clear view on their finances and identifying new strategies to meet their spending and saving goals.
Since 2007 America Saves Week, coordinated by America Saves and its partners, has been an annual celebration as well as a call to action for everyday Americans to commit to saving successfully. Through the support of thousands of participating organizations, together we encourage our local communities to do a financial check in to get a clear view of your money story and saving behaviors. The America Saves pledge is the online tool that allows savers to set a goal, and make a plan to achieve better financial stability.
