Spiral Fuels Growth With Launch of Savings Center Amid Rising Demand

By Team Spiral|August 12, 2025

At Spiral, we're redefining what’s possible in digital banking — and today, we're proud to announce the launch of our latest innovation: the Savings Center.

This powerful, embedded experience meets the surging demand for smarter, more personalized savings tools. With the Savings Center, banks and credit unions can grow and retain deposits, cross-sell loans, and empower account holders to save effortlessly, build stronger financial habits, and reach their financial goals through automated savings.

Helping Americans Thrive

As the average personal savings rate remains under 4%, many Americans continue to struggle with saving for long-term goals or emergencies. According to a 2024 Forbes survey, one in four Americans has less than $1,000 in savings. Furthermore, the 2025 Bankrate Savings Report found that 19% of Americans have no emergency savings at all.

The Savings Center was designed in response to meet rising demand for more personalized savings tools, and is already gaining rapid traction among leading banks and credit unions across the U.S. It offers a range of gamified and automated ways to save, from innovative auto-savings and round-up savings to personalized goal tracking — all designed to help different people save consistently, easily, and with confidence. For financial institutions, it’s a win-win: boost deposit growth, increase savings accounts and transactions, and win primacy by helping account holders thrive.

Low-Cost Deposits That Stick

At the same time, thousands of financial institutions are under pressure to stand out, grow deposits, increase primacy, and deepen savings and loan relationships. While high-yield CD offerings may attract attention, they often come with high acquisition costs and short-term, non-sticky deposits of rate chasers. Spiral's Savings Center provides a better and more effective solution, helping financial institutions elevate their digital experience by offering innovative, automated savings tools that increase deposits and growth at a low cost.

Designed for Demand. Built for Results.

In less than a year, Spiral has powered millions of savings transactions for dozens of financial institutions nationwide.

"As people look for easier ways to save money, community financial institutions are losing deposits to mega banks and fintech companies," said Shawn Melamed, CEO and Co-founder of Spiral. "This is an exciting milestone on our journey to empowering more financial institutions to become the primary choice for savings, cards, loans, and giving."
