"The OCC is pleased to support America Saves Week. Throughout my career and personal life, I’ve understood that a savings account and the discipline to save are part of the foundation of our financial stability. During America Saves Week, national banks and federal savings associations can educate their customers about savings, setting financial goals, and how to achieve those goals. It’s easier than ever to save. Banks and savings associations can provide accessible, easy-to-use tools that empower consumers to grow their savings, letting consumers bank in the ways most convenient to them—at a nearby ATM or a local branch or using online and mobile banking applications on their phones or computers. Increasing consumer awareness about the importance of savings and continuing to make it easier to save can yield positive outcomes for our nation’s banks and the consumers and communities they serve." — Joseph M. Otting, Comptroller of the Currency (2018)

"America Saves Week is a good time for consumers to begin their savings routines. Direct deposit is a helpful tool for consumers to use to meet their savings goals. By allocating certain funds from their paychecks or tax returns into a savings or an employer-sponsored retirement account, consumers can save automatically. Another effective tool is the myRA retirement account, a U.S. Treasury program for those consumers who don't have access to an employer-sponsored retirement plan. The myRA is simple, safe and affordable. Making savings a routine is an important step for consumers to secure their financial future." – Richard Cordray, Director, Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (2017)
