Prized-Link Savings are Coming to Texas!
In June, Governor Abbott signed HB 471 into law, which gives banks and credit unions the ability to offer chances to win cash prizes for Texans who are making deposits into a savings account. The challenge was that HB 471 could not go into effect withoutl the adoption of a constitutional amendment (Proposition 7).  In November the votes were cast and Proposition 7, the constitutional amendment allowing these types of prizes passed!  We are looking forward to being a part of the collaboration of financial institutions and community groups to implement prize-linked savings programs and to help more Texans build their savings!
