How Does the Wisely Savings Envelope Work?

The Wisely Savings Envelope lets you set aside money in a separate section of your account, helping protect it from daily spending while supporting your savings goals.

  • The Benefit: When you move money into your envelope, it is hidden from your “Available Balance.” This protects your savings from being accidentally spent during daily swipes or ATM withdrawals.
  • Maximum Balance: To keep your savings organized, there is a balance cap—typically $5,000—for most users.
  • Automation: You can set the app to automatically tuck away a percentage of every paycheck into this envelope.
