We are a Registered Charity. Since 1999, Momentum’s Matched-Savings Programs
have empowered people who are living on low incomes with limited assets. The funding for this program is from our financial partners listed at the bottom of this page.
The starting bonus is earned as soon as you join the Savings Challenge. All other incentives that are tied to withdrawals from your bank account will be earned 5 business days after the money starts to transfer to the QUBER Vault.
Stop the Challenge by clicking, “Cashout”. You can then choose to “Cashout & Quit’. Or choose ‘Cashout and Continue” which transfers your savings and incentives to your linked account, but you can still continue the Challenge.
If you are worried that you might not have money in your bank account for your next savings withdrawal, you can skip a withdrawal. First, open QUBER and navigate to the Momentum Savings Challenge. Under the Details section, you will see ‘Next withdrawal’ with a date. Look for the ‘Skip withdrawal’ link. This will skip the next withdrawal and automatically continue with the next withdrawal. Please note, by skipping a withdrawal, you may lose out on some incentives.
BE AWARE: if QUBER attempts to withdraw money that is not available in your account, you are at risk of paying a Non-Sufficient Funds (NSF) fee to your bank. NSF fees can be upwards of $50.
