LGE is closed Monday, October 14 in observance of Columbus Day.
Coin Jar allows you to round up debit card purchases to the nearest dollar and donate the difference to the LGE Community Outreach Foundation or your savings account.
Enroll in Coin Jar (you can opt-out at any time) easily.
Set limits on transfers by minimum balance and/or maximum monthly donation limit.
Make purchases using your LGE debit card.
Donate as you spend! Use your LGE Community Credit Union debit card to make everyday purchases - lunch, gas, coffee, groceries, etc. - and the change on the transaction will be rounded up to the nearest whole dollar. The difference will automatically transfer from your checking account to the LGE Community Outreach Foundation* or your designated savings account at the end of each business day! Every dollar raised by the Foundation is generously matched (up to an annual maximum) by LGE Community Credit Union. Therefore, your donations can go twice as far!
Purchases will appear as usual. Round-up transactions will appear separately at the end of each day with a reference to the originating purchase(s). It is important that you develop your own method for recording these transactions in your checkbook. This will help you keep your checkbook balanced, and help you avoid overdrawing your account.
*The LGE Community Outreach Foundation (LGE COF) is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization based on the credit union principle of “People Helping People.” Contributions to the Foundation may be tax deductible in whole or in part – consult with your tax advisor. LGE COF is a completely different entity from the Credit Union.
**Regardless of the contribution amount, you are responsible to maintain appropriate records of your contributions. For specific tax and filing information, you are responsible to seek proper accountant advice.
Eligible Coin Jar Round Up transfers are for LGE debit card POS purchases only. Both PIN and Signature-based transactions will be included in this program. Round up transfers may only be applied to shares under the account associated with your debit card. Once enrolled in the “continuous” round up option, transfers will begin to post on the next business day. Purchases made on weekends or holidays will post on the next business day. The “continuous” Coin Jar Round Up transfer remains in effect until you opt out of the program. Additional account types may not be eligible.
