National Savings Day, held on October 12th each year, was founded in 2017. The day aims to empower people to feel more confident about their relationship with money. Capital One created this day to show that saving money can be simple and fit naturally into everyday life.
The day is designed for anyone looking to improve their financial habits. It’s a reminder that saving doesn’t have to be complicated and can be a straightforward part of life. By focusing on small, consistent savings, people can build a more secure financial future with less stress.
On National Savings Day, people often learn new ways to save, participate in educational activities, or take advantage of tips and resources shared by financial experts. The day encourages everyone to make saving a regular, easy habit.
