  • Spending buckets

    Take control of your spending with this feature in your Ally Bank Spending Account. Create buckets for expenses like groceries and utilities so you know how much you have left to spend on everything else. Tag businesses where you frequently spend money, and money will come out of your buckets automatically.

    Savings buckets

    A feature of your Ally Bank Savings Account, savings buckets let you divvy up your savings into different categories. Choose from 12 existing categories or make your own.  You can create up to 30 buckets to save for what matters most to you. Use the goal feature to set your target amount and date — and track your progress.

Protect yourself from overdrafts with CoverDraftSM.

Anyone could lose track of their spending and accidentally overdraft their account. We get it. That’s why we eliminated overdraft fees and added CoverDraft — a fee-free temporary safety net of up to $250.

How it works:  

  • In most cases, you qualify for CoverDraft 30 days after depositing $100 or more into your Ally Bank Spending Account.

  • Basic coverage starts at up to $100, but if you set up and receive a qualifying direct deposit of at least $250 for 2 months in a row, you can up your CoverDraft coverage to $250 (you’ll need at least one direct deposit of at least $250 every 45 days to keep this expanded protection). 

  • Should you overspend, your next deposit automatically applies to the negative balance. 

  • You can turn off CoverDraft or adjust your coverage amount whenever you’d like, as long as you don’t have a negative balance. 

  • We’ll give you 14 days to bring your balance out of the negative, and may restrict purchases and withdrawals from your account until you bring your balance back to $0 or more. 

Manage CDs online.

  • Keep an eye on CD account on your desktop or the Ally Mobile app.

  • You can change terms and add funds when your CD matures.
