Saver's Sweepstakes

Earn Chances to Win

Just for Saving!

Ripco's *Saver's Sweepstakes Share Savings Account is a prize-linked savings program offered by Wisconsin, Minnesota and Illinois credit unions. Saver's Sweepstakes share savings accounts are designed to help credit union members save while giving them chances to win statewide cash prize drawings.

Think of your Saver's Sweepstakes account as being structured similarly to a Christmas Club Savings Account or Share Certificate. Members can make deposits, and the money in the account is theirs, but their withdrawals are limited during the calendar year. Making deposits earns the primary share account holder entries into drawings for cash prizes.
