Move money into your savings and back

Move money from your checking account to your savings and back, and know the shape every payment shares.

Moving money between two accounts that both belong to you is the one payment where nothing can go anywhere it should not.

Which makes it the right place to learn the shape every payment shares.

Key points

• Move money between two accounts you own, in five steps
• Read the summary screen before confirming, every time
• Cancel a payment at the point where canceling costs nothing

What to remember

• Every bank asks the same five questions in the same order.
• The summary screen is the last free chance to change your mind.

Try this

Move $5 into your savings, then move the same $5 straight back. It costs nothing, and you will have made a complete payment twice.
