Planning a wedding can be a lot of fun when you’re tasting cake, choosing a color palette and picking your first dance song. It can also be a bit overwhelming when you start to crunch the numbers of how much everything will cost. We’ve got you covered with tips on how to boost your savings before you tie the knot.
Set it and forget it
Schedule recurring transfers from your checking account to your savings account each pay day, so you can save without even thinking of it!
Rack up the rewards
Landmark Visa® Signature Cash Back or Rewards Visa®* to help cover wedding costs with cash or gift cards.
Give your savings a boost
Psst! If you’re only using a traditional savings account, you could be earning more with a certificate account. With our terms ranging from 3 months to 5 years, bump up that interest before you walk down the aisle. See our current rates.
