How Round Up Works
Every time your child uses their debit card on their linked Sprout Spend account, we’ll round the purchase amount up to the next whole dollar and transfer the difference to their designated MCT savings account.
Example:
- Purchase: $6.45
- Rounded to: $7.00
- Savings deposit: $0.55
Small change adds up fast – turning everyday spending into an easy savings habit.
