Fractional and Automated Savings Accounts - are they a good idea?
Deanna Richardson from Richardson Accounting and Consulting, PLLC @ theCPA-4U.com asked
"Have you heard of Digit? Seems like a great way to build up an emergency fund and....it says it is free. Then their are bonuses for keeping $100 in it over 3 months. If I did my math right, the bonuses are over 2.5% interest (5 cents / week per $100). Would love to hear what you think."
I tackle these new fractional, or automatic, savings accounts: Acorns, Digit and Betterment's SmartDollar
