For a limited time only, Jewett City Savings Bank is offering consumers the opportunity to earn a higher return on money they put aside to pay for energy costs this winter. The special Energy Savings Account will pay a guaranteed rate through April 18, 2008, on accounts originally opened by September 30, 2007, but, now extended to October 13, 2007.

 “This is a wonderful way to help offset the high cost of fuel,” said Kevin C. Merchant, president and CEO of Jewett City Savings Bank, “and saving systematically, in advance, also makes good sense.”

 A minimum of $100 is required to open an Energy Savings Account, and funds can be added at any time, in any amount. Customers can make up to six transfers (including writing three checks) from the account each month. The account is available at all offices of Jewett City Savings Bank.
