Utahns urged to save their change next week

Utah Saves, a United Way of Salt Lake initiative that helps Utahns learn how to save and spend wisely, announced it will hold its first-ever "Save Your Change Week!" Nov. 13-17.

The group is urging Utahns to open a Utah Saves account at participating local banks and credit unions — Zions Bank, U.S. Bank, Bank of American Fork, Key Bank, America First Credit Union, Mountain America Credit Union and the University of Utah Credit Union.

Those opening either new Utah Saves accounts or making new deposits into existing Utah Saves accounts that week could be eligible to win a $1,000, $750 or $500 savings bond, the group said in a statement.
