Helping others might just be the key to a life that is not only happier but also healthier, wealthier, more productive, and profoundly meaningful.
There are countless ways to make a positive impact on the world each day. Whether it's volunteering for a cause close to your heart, recycling, or assisting elderly or disabled individuals with everyday tasks, every small action counts.
Scientific research supports the notion that helping others boosts our happiness, leading to what is known as the “helper’s high.” This warm, contented feeling follows acts of kindness, such as donating money, volunteering, or simply lending a hand. Imagine experiencing this sense of well-being daily. What if achieving it was as simple as using your debit or credit card to buy groceries, fill up your car, or enjoy coffee with a friend?
At Spiral, we are committed to making it easier for people to build a better life while creating a positive impact regularly. That's why we developed Everyday Impact™—a feature that enables you to save for your future and support charitable causes of your choice effortlessly every time you shop. Simply swipe your debit or credit card at any restaurant, coffee shop, gas station, hotel, and more. With each transaction, you can round up to grow your savings and donate to causes close to your hearts, such as tree planting, providing clean water, feeding children in need, offering safe shelter to those in need, and many more. It’s that simple.
Save Money and Feel like a Hero Every Day
We empower individuals to save for their future and feel like heroes every day by making a difference and helping their community daily with every debit card purchase. Imagine that every single purchase you make could fight climate change, provide clean water, feed a hungry child, or offer safe shelter to those in need. With Spiral, this is now a reality.
Making the World a Better Place, One Purchase at a Time
Spiral’s Everyday Impact™ enables financial institutions to empower their account holders to grow their savings and make a positive impact with their everyday transactions. Whether it’s saving the planet or giving shelter animals a second chance, there are a variety of cause categories to choose from, and your account holders have full control over how much of their roundups go to their savings or to charitable donations.
How Everyday Impact™ Works
When you offer Everyday Impact™ within your digital banking, your account holders have the ability to round up their everyday purchases to the nearest dollar and have the spare change added directly to their savings account. Plus, they can choose to have a percentage of their roundups go to a charity or cause area of their choice with the ability to change their preferences at any time and receive a donation report for tax purposes
5 Steps to Grow Your Savings and Make an Impact with Every Purchase:
- Activate Everyday Impact™ with just a few clicks
- Choose what percentage of your roundups will go to your savings and what percentage (if any) you’d like to donate to a cause or nonprofit of your choice
- Just swipe your debit or credit card at any restaurant, coffee shop, gas station, hotel, or any other vendor; your purchases will be rounded up to the nearest dollar automatically with the spare change added directly to your savings account and/or cause areas that you selected. With every purchase, not only can you grow your savings, but you can also plant a tree, provide clean water, feed a child in need, or provide safe shelter for people in poverty - the sky's the limit for the level of impact you can make on your financial future and the lives of others!
- Easily track the impact of your roundups and make adjustments at any given time
- When you use your roundups to donate, you’ll also have access to receipts and a donation report for tax purposes
