Set Your Goals & Map Out Your Plan for 2026
A strong financial year begins with clarity. Start by identifying what you want to accomplish in 2026, whether that is building an emergency fund, saving for a vacation, preparing for a home purchase, paying down debt, or boosting your retirement savings. Writing your goals down and breaking them into manageable steps can make them feel more achievable.
Once you know what you are working toward, our Savings Goal Calculator can help you turn those goals into a realistic plan. Just enter your goal amount and timeline, and the calculator will show you how much to save and how often. It is a simple way to transform a big dream into a clear, actionable path forward.
Make Saving Simple with Personal Goal Accounts

Features include:
- Automatic transfers
- Easy online and mobile access
- Custom naming options such as "Vacation 2026" or "New Car Fund"
It is a smart, structured way to stay focused and celebrate milestones along the way.
