What ZYNLO Offers?

ZYNG Round-Up Savings & Match

At the heart of the ZYNLO experience is ZYNG Round Up & Match, our automatic round-up savings program.

Every eligible debit card purchase is rounded up to the nearest dollar, and the spare change is transferred into your savings account. Then, ZYNLO matches those round-ups, helping customers build savings with everyday spending.

It’s a simple way to save more without changing your spending habits—and one of the features that makes ZYNLO different from traditional banks.

High‑Yield Checking

ZYNLO’s More Spending checking* helps your money work harder by earning interest while remaining available for everyday purchases. Customers also enjoy:

High‑Yield Savings

The Tomorrow Savings+ helps customers build savings with:

  • A competitive Annual Percentage Yield (APY)
  • No minimum opening deposit
  • No monthly maintenance fees
  • Savings Goals and budgeting tools
  • Integration with ZYNG Round-Up Savings & Match

Money Market Accounts

ZYNLO’s money market^ offers a competitive APY with no minimum balance requirements and no cap on interest earnings.

Whether you’re saving $1,000 or $1 million, you’ll earn the same great rate on your entire balance. In 2026, NerdWallet recognized ZYNLO’s Money Market Account as its Best Money Market Account for 2026.

Certificates of Deposit

For customers looking for guaranteed returns and fixed rates, ZYNLO offers Certificates of Deposit (CDs) with no minimum opening balance requirement.

ZYNLO currently offers 6-, 12-, 18- and 24-month CD terms, giving savers flexibility to choose the option that best fits their goals and timeline.

ZYNG automatically rounds up debit card purchases to the nearest dollar and transfers that amount from your ZYNLO More Spending Account into your ZYNLO Tomorrow Savings Account. ZYNG will match roundups at 100% for the first 100 days. After the first 100 days, ZYNG will match roundups at 100% if your More Spending Account had an average daily balance (ADB) of at least $3,000 in the previous statement cycle. If your ADB was below $3,000 in the previous statement cycle, roundups will be matched at 25% for the current statement cycle. After not qualifying, you can return to the 100% match if the minimum ADB is met. Matches are applied in real time, and your match percentage is recalculated each month based on the ADB from the prior statement cycle. ZYNLO More Spending with ZYNG Round Up and Match return is estimated using $3,000 average daily balance, 20 monthly transactions, an average of $0.44 per roundup, and 100% match. ZYNLO reserves the right to monitor and assess ZYNG Match transactions for unusual and unnatural use of this benefit. At our sole discretion, ZYNLO may determine that an account has displayed unusual or unnatural use of the ZYNG benefit. Once an account has been identified for using ZYNG in an unnatural manner based on typical customer behavior, ZYNLO reserves the right to (1) remove the account from any and all promotions and campaigns, (2) implement a pause, or pursue closure of the account, and (3) reclaim any ZYNLO Match contributions associated with transactions deemed unnatural or in violation of the ZYNG program.

**Early Payday: Early access to direct deposit funds depends on the timing of the submission of the payment file from the payer. We generally make these funds available on the day the payment file is received, which may be up to 2 days earlier than the scheduled payment date.
