Save to Win

Prize-Linked Savings Program for Michigan Credit Unions

Save to Win is a national award-winning innovative product available only at credit unions. A provision in the Michigan Credit Union Act allows state and federal-chartered credit unions to offer prize-linked saving raffles to their members in which a savings deposit can constitute entries into a raffle drawing. To date, more than 13,000 Michigan credit union members have saved $22 million by participating in Save to Win. In our current slow-growth economy, this is a huge accomplishment for Michigan families and for Michigan credit unions!

This program started as a part of the Michigan's Community Reinvestment Initiative, because it's closely tied to our mission of "People Helping People," by giving members a way to build good savings habits and enjoy a more responsible game of chance. This unique product was developed by Commonwealth and The Filene Research Institute in partnership with the Michigan Credit Union League and CU Solutions Group.
