Last Updated on Oct 21, 2025

October is National Financial Planning Month and Centier Bank, Indiana’s largest private, family-owned and operated bank, is unveiling the Centier Piggy Bank Tips, the top five tips to help Indiana residents take charge of their financial futures. With rising costs, holiday planning, and economic uncertainty top of mind for many Indiana families, Centier’s award-winning team of financial experts is sharing timely tips and practical strategies to help residents save smarter, reduce stress, and boost financial literacy. 

“Our team at Centier is passionate about helping families feel confident about their finances and well-equipped to reach their full savings potential by offering personalized resources and educational tools to maximize every dollar,” said Joe DiNicolantonio, Senior Partner and Head of Retail Banking at Centier Bank. “Our Centier Piggy Bank savings tips that we are sharing in light of National Financial Planning Month are just one of the many valuable resources Centier offers our clients to help establish strong financial futures.”

Centier Bank’s Top Five Piggy Bank Tips to Help Hoosiers Start Saving Today:

  1. Schedule a Free Financial Checkup. It helps to have help! All year round, Indiana residents can stop by their local Centier branch for a complimentary financial checkup to start saving with clear financial strategies. Centier advisors will review goals, create a customized savings plan, and set guests up for success. Consider it a wellness visit but for money.
  2. Look for Be Our Guest Service. Look for financial guidance from trusted, welcoming sources to feel the most comfortable and ready to make changes while removing the money shame stigma. When Hoosiers visit a Centier branch, they get one-on-one guidance, just like having a personal financial coach. That personal hospitality sets Centier apart and helps make the biggest impact when it comes to consumer dollars saved.
  3. Set Up Big Goal Buckets. Breaking down a savings plan can help more consumers hit their financial goals so break it down into buckets. Open dedicated accounts, like savings or money markets, for things like retirement, college, or a new home. It helps keep “dream money” separate from daily spending. This helps to make saving for the big stuff feel less daunting while still helping funds grow.
  4. Automate Savings. Saving is easier when it is automatic. At Centier, clients can schedule automatic transfers from checking to savings. Once that is set up, there isn’t a second thought about it and the financial cushion grows stress-free and automatically.
  5. Join the Holiday Club. It’s almost the most expensive time of the year! But that doesn’t mean Hoosiers can’t save smart before Santa arrives. Start setting aside money now so when the holidays are here you’ll have a head start on funds for gifts, travel, or entertaining. It’s a stress-free way to avoid holiday debt.
