Your Goals Within Reach –
with a Bluebird SetAsideSM Account
SetAside is a feature linked to your Bluebird Account that is designed to help you put money away for future spending goals – like a family vacation, holiday shopping, or even for a rainy day.
Here's how it works:
- Easily move funds from your main Bluebird Account into your SetAside Account with one–time or recurring transfers
- Avoid unintentional spending to reach your goals faster, since you can't spend directly from your SetAside Account
- Your funds, your choice – when you're ready to spend, instantly move the funds back into your main Bluebird Account – 24/7
With Bluebird Checks you're protected from overdraft.
