I’ve just found that my savings have doubled.

Not much as I keep my money in the checking acct. and have the “keep the change” option.

Just looked at it and it states that my savings have gone from $75.38 to $149.86.

BOA giving me free money?

I’m looking for facts regarding the save the change program at BOA.

BOA usually offers a 100% match on the keep the change savings for the first three months you are in the program, then a lower rate after that.
