Our local news station had a segment of an app called, Changed, which rounds up your purchases from your debit or credit cards to the nearest dollar and applies that amount to your student loans. I don't have any student loans, but does anyone know of any apps that use the same principle to put the money into savings or to pay other loans?

Bank of America has had an internal prgram like this for over 10 years. No app is needed. I signed up and now anything I charge on my card rounds up and goes into a savings account.

There's an app called Acorns that will round up and help you invest the money into stocks or into an IRA for retirement.

I use the Acorns app which rounds up purchases on any credit, debit or checking acounts you link to it. That money is invested for you.
