Participating members of all 22 Minnesota-based credit unions offering WINcentive were eligible for the monthly, quarterly and annual statewide prizes for 2022. Each credit union is also guaranteed to have one $100 winner each quarter.

As of December 2022, over 8,700 members of credit unions in Minnesota have saved a total of roughly $13 million in WINcentive savings accounts throughout the state.

WINcentive Savings incentivizes consumers in to save by offering risk-free rewards. WINcentive prizes are awarded on a monthly, quarterly, and annual basis, with prizes ranging from $100 to $5,000.  Account holders in Minnesota qualify for up to four chances per month for each $25 increase in their month over month savings balance.
