FDIC Encourages Consumers to Develop a Plan to Save Toward Their Goals America Saves Week is February 22—February 27, 2016 The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) encourages consumers to use America Saves Week as a time to begin or continue saving toward financial goals. FDIC Chairman Martin J. Gruenberg said: “Making regular savings deposits – even small ones – into a federally insured financial institution is a safe way to work toward your financial goals. During America Saves Week, I encourage consumers to set up automatic, recurring deposits into savings accounts to help meet savings goals.
