How it works
- Contact ECS to open your Summer Savings Account
- Set your monthly contribution amount through payroll direct deposit (up to $2,500/month)
- Earn 4.00% APY* on your full balance all year long
- Choose where your funds go at maturity: transfer to any ECS account or receive a check
- When your balance is transferred out each July, the cycle starts fresh with your next direct deposit
Account details
- Deposits via payroll direct deposit only — no outside transfers

Early withdrawals & maturity
