There’s just something more satisfying about buying that morning coffee from the cute barista at your coffee shop than brewing your own cup o’ joe — even if it has the potential to save you money, right? Guilt-free solution: Bank of America’s Keep the Change savings program — where every debit card purchase is rounded up to the nearest dollar and the difference is transferred from your checking to your savings account. So, when you buy that $2.50 coffee, the program rounds it up to $3 and automatically transfers $0.50 from your checking to your savings account.

You’ve spent hours online shopping for Summer sandals, and now you’re eyeing some espadrilles and can’t resist the urge to make them yours! Well, now you have even more reason to browse and shop online. As a Bank of America customer, learn how you can earn up to 20 percent cash back at over 300 online retailers through the bank’s new Add It Up™ online shopping website.
You're a pro at avoiding ATM fees and finding free checking, but banks are slapping fees on everything from your standard withdrawal at another bank to helping its customers. Yes, that customer service call could come with a charge. Banks are relying on fee income more than ever, so don't be surprised if your institution starts sticking you with a tab for checking your balance.
Tyra Banks has added yet another aspect to her media empire: an online magazine. The former Super, who already produces her namesake talk show and America’s Next Top Model, will be be launching e-zine, Tyra: Beauty Inside and Out, on TyraBanks.com, today at 5 p.m. Topics will cover fashion, beauty, healthy living, and relationships.
When it comes to banking, I usually do as much as I can online, whether it be checking balances, transferring funds or paying bills. According to CNBC, some of the largest US banks like Citi will be launching mobile banking services so that customers can access their bank account info from the convenience of their cell phones. These mobile services will include all of the standard features of online banking including transfers, bill payments, etc.
The Tyra Banks Show recently called upon one of my Designer Spotlights, Kyle Schuneman, to transform its drab and boring office into a fabulous workspace. Kyle started by painting the walls a serene blue with eco-friendly, zero-VOC paint. Then, he anchored the room with a Room and Board Parsons Desk and brought in a file cabinet with classic lines for storage.
Almost every big bank made headlines last year, and it looks like we can expect one bank to stand out as the bank to watch in 2009. You all voted Bank of America as the best commercial bank of 2008 and the experts seem to agree that it's number one. While the process of purchasing Merrill Lynch began in September, the transaction was made final on Thursday, making Bank of America the biggest bank in the US and ending 94 years of independence for Merrill.
While we wait with bated breath for tonight's ANTM campfest, here's another Tyra-based diversion. On last night's Larry King Live, Ms. Banks talked more about her decision to show off her natural hair on her show.
I was listening to NPR yesterday, and there was a story about how one in four Brits fail to save money for the future. This problem certainly isn't limited to the U.K., and when it comes to putting cash away for a rainy day, every little bit helps.
So here's an idea: Pick up a special adult piggy bank to encourage your own penny pinching.
