Carter Savings Account
Even with all of the technological changes in the banking industry and new opportunities to save, we believe that there is still room for simplicity. We cannot be simpler than our savings account.
Our Carter Savings Accounts are easy to use and will help you build up funds to cover both planned and unexpected future expenses. If you already have a checking account with us, opening a savings account will allow you to set up free automatic transfers from checking to savings. Whether you schedule a transfer once a week or once a month, this feature makes it even more convenient to build up an emergency fund or nest egg without actually thinking about it.

- Unlimited in person withdrawals and transfers

Expedite Your Savings with Carter Ca$h
At Carter Bank & Trust, we want to help you save and win money while doing it. Carter Ca$h is our savings challenge program designed to help you save while giving you the chance to win money, potentially increasing your savings opportunities.
For every increment of $25 on the balance in your Personal Savings account as of the last day of the drawing period, you earn an entry to win $50 monthly, $250 quarterly, and $25,000 at year-end. For example, if you have a $187 balance at the end of the drawing period, you will have 7 entries. Overall, we award 65 Carter Savings account holders annually through our Carter Ca$h savings challenge.
*Money Market, Christmas Club and Business Savings accounts are excluded from the Carter Ca$h program. Businesses, estates, trusts, organizations and any other public or private entities are ineligible to participate.
