When Hanscom FCU introduced its Kasasa Cash1 and Kasasa Cash Back2 checking accounts last year, Bill Burpeau, a relationship manager in Hanscom FCU’s partner relations department, didn’t need much convincing to sign up. “I thought, ‘OK, so I’ll get a little money back.’ That sounded good to me.”

What he didn’t expect? The excitement he feels when his Monthly Qualification email pops up in his inbox. “I read that email and it makes my day,” he said. “I’m doing nothing differently than I did before: I’m getting my statements online, direct depositing my payroll checks, and using my debit card throughout the month. That email congratulating me and letting me know I’m getting some money deposited into my account makes me feel great. That’s a real reward I can use.”

Bill deposits the $7 into his Kasasa Savings account with a 1.50% APY3, which he uses as his emergency savings. “That’s an extra $84 a year for doing what I’d do anyway,” he added. “You could also funnel that money into a CU Thrive account, which pays an even higher amount of interest.”
